Turner Motorsports 12.5mm spacers installed

In my humble opinion, makes a massive difference ...so aggressive + the performance advantage of a wider track

Cheers !

Looks great. Any wheel poke that may attribute to stones being thrown towards the side of the car? I'm contemplating of whether to go 10mm all around or 12.5mm.

Totally ignore me as you see fit, but if you ever drive behind a lowered F8X on 10.5-11" wheels, you'll realize that the stock 10" just don't fill out the wheel well for that steamroller look even with 20" 295s.

Additionally, spacers are really just a band-aid until you get wheels that actually fit and there are plenty of reputable aftermarket brands that cater to the F8X. It's just yet another extraneous part you don't have to worry about someone else f'n up.

There is nothing wrong with using spacers which is obviously considerably cheaper than buying new wheels. Also turner motorsports produces some of the best quality spacers out there. Not sure why you think there is anything wrong with using spacers.

+1 on turners spacers

I'm typically not a fan, but for turner I make the exception given the unique hub ring design

I went 5mm all round to play it safe (with ps4s which adds a bit more poke due to squarer shoulder)

Spacer debate - really?

For all you crack smokers, are you really arguing over such things as 10 vs 12 vs 15mm because of the "poke"? Do you realize you are arguing over 1/5 of an inch? - are you really thinking you can notice that difference??? Get a life!

The irony of this naive individual telling more knowledgeable people to get a life and calling them crack smokers.

Yes its absolutely noticeable why do you think so many people do it? Perhaps you should learn or thing or two before posting this nonsense.

That makes your initial comments all the more confusing. Why did you choose 15mm? Why not 12 or 10 or none since it doesnt make a difference?

I went the same route with Turner 12.5 mm all the way around. I agree that it looks great, the quality of the Turner product is perfect and it allows for tuning your wheel fit to your liking. We'll done!

Nice setup.
How's car traction and any steering shake/vibrate in higher speeds (60+ mph) with spacer?
