Final verdict on spacers for M8
So reading through the many threads, still have not landed on a decision.
Seeking further thoughts on a final opinion/conclusion for spacers on the M8 Coupe? 18/12 or 15/10 or what? Prefer a more aggressive stance so leaning towards 18/12. Btw car is not lowered and most likely will not happen..... until I change my mind lol All thoughts welcome. |

Cons: bad install or cheap spacers that dont have a proper snout which will lead to wobbles, vibrations, and other issues. Of my current stable I have spacers on the R8, M8, C63 BS.... the AMG has custom wheels and the Porsche has centerlocks (impossible to space correctly) Ive been using proper spacers for years on over 20+ of my cars especially with the improvement of good looking OEM wheels where the only detractor is the offset so they are too sunk in. Hell, Porsche even had spacer options in their builds on their 991's for years.

Was this for your x5m or m8?
I think 15m in rear of m8 is too aggressive.

I would not run a 15mm in the rear with my drop.

I dont rub at all on 18's with the OEM tires- tested at speeds to the limiter with undulations.

It turns out Michelins sub nicely as a circular sander—it's positively glossy in there now. |

Those PS4's sure do have a nicer sidewall than the Pirellis.

We have 18/11 with a light drop and the car is perfect front/rear with PS4s or Sottozero snows. No rubbing or vibrations of any kind

Customer will comes back to swap the 15 to 18 as what I suggested prior to installation. He was a insisted 18mm will be too much and just want to do 15. After the drop and drove the car in the parking lot, he does realize that 18mm was the right choice.
