New m3 owner, what spacer should i run

CCUSACKM3 · 09-29-2021, 07:54 AM

Hello All! Very happy to say I just picked up my Tanzanite Blue 2018 M3 in NJ and drove it 4 hours home and I am in love. I have loved M's since I was a kid and can remember the first time I saw an E46 in my town where you usually don't see M's. Safe to say this is a dream come true for me.

First on the agenda for me is to fix the monster truck stock fitment. I have ordered the K&W HAS kit from IND but my question is what spacer should I run? car the 666m wheels on it. This car is my daily I would like an aggressive fitment without rubbing if that is even possible. really going for that CS type look.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Welcome to the club!

12f / 10r is the most common. That's a flush look.

Congrats on the car OP!

With the 666m style wheels you can run 12 mm up front and 10mm in the rear. These will allow for some extra room for when you lower the car on the KW HAS kit. If you are looking for a more aggressive fitment you can probably squeeze 15mm spacers up front and 12mm in the rear.

Good luck and hope that helps!
