F8X M3/M4 Macht Schnell wheel spacer reference thread

[Sir Loin]

How likely the spacer fall off the hub when you put the wheel back back on? Anything suggestion to make the installation easier? Thanks.

Spacers don't fall off the hub during installation, the hub lip is plenty large enough to keep things in place.

Stock right now but might do Eibach V1

Tom do sell a guide bolt to assist in installing spacers?

Don't have any wheel pins in 14mm shank, but they're easily lined up once set on the hub lip. You can always thread in a lug to keep in place if needed.

EDIT: Nevermind, I went back and found the answer I needed from 2 SLOW in post #985 (Linked HERE).

12f/10r with 265/35/19 & 285/35/19 Continental Extremecontact Sports should be perfect with no rubbing on stock suspension and 437M wheels.

Just placed my order for the 10mm spacers.


.....................
I have the 12F/15R spacer setup from Macht Schnell on my F80 M3 with OEM 19" 437M wheels. I tried it with 15F and 12R but the fronts poked too much with that setup.

Overall, I'm happy with this setup on the stock tires. And I agree with Juras, that 15mm in the rear sits perfectly flush without poking. However, I'm now looking at going with 285/35 rear and 265/35 front. As a result, I know my 15mm spacers will no longer work.

Where I'm having trouble is whether I should order another set of 12mm for the rear or if I should drop down to 10mm, or even 5mm. I know the P4S's run wide so 10mm or 5mm would probably be a better option. But I'm also considering the Continental Extremecontact Sport's, which are a bit narrower than the P4S's, from my research.

Anyway, I guess my questions are...

1) With the P4S's (285/35/19), Could I get away with 12mm or 10mm without rubbing in the rear at stock height? Or are either of those options too aggressive for this tire?

2) With the 12mm spacer in the front, am I safe with the 265/35 P4S's? Or will I need to drop to 10mm?


Some pics of my 12F/15R setup as reference for my above comments...

Thanks!

Looking for 12f/10r (stock tire, 19" 437 rims) and Eibach V1 installed.

After spending these tires, I want to try 265/285. What recommendation do you have for these two setups?

can someone confirm the size of spacer required to run the M4 GT4 wheel 18x11 +30?

doing some preliminary research on this wheel, it will be on an M4 running KW HAS kit.

tire will most likely be a 295/30 or 295/35.

thanks

I dont think you are going to be able to get a spacer in with that size. Its pretty aggressive already.

I've got a set of winter wheels and was wondering what size spacers to get a flush look. The wheels are 18x8 ET32 the tires are 245/40-18r. Thanks.

Can I get a quote for 12mm/10mm spacers shipped to 09012? To verify, the 12mm front and 10mm rear combination is recommended for an M4 Competition due to the slightly wider tires, correct? Do extended bolts come with the spacers? Car is on stock suspension with the 19" 437M wheels. Thanks!
