I will try to find the link info. As I said, I am not positive about the thickness of the spacer, I think it's 10mm. I am running oem 19s with 10mm spacers all round on mine with no problems at all. The 10mm hubcentric spacer can be made for an M3, it's just down to how you design the corner chamfers. (I make my own) Another theory might be that the GTS wheel runs with a bigger spigot bore which would enable a 5mm hubcentric spacer to be used. The only thing I know for sure is that the GTS runs a spacer of some kind. |

Also, check out the following specs: BMW M3 GTS: http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/4...92-M3-GTS.html Wheelbase / Track (fr/r) 2760 mm (108.7 in) / 1546 mm (60.9 in) / 1539 mm (60.6 in) BMW M3 Competition: http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/4...mpetition.html Wheelbase / Track (fr/r) 2761 mm (108.7 in) / 1538 mm (60.6 in) / 1539 mm (60.6 in) So from the specs above, it looks like the GTS may be running a 4mm spacer in the front or something else in the GTS front suspension is pushing the front wheels out a bit more than the normal comp package E92.

negative, the track is measured from the centerline of one tire to the centerline of the other tire. A wider tire would not result in a wider track.

Edit: It also refers to the GTS's paint as Fire Orange, when I'm fairly certain it's Inca Orange. Point is, I'd take the news of spacers with a grain of salt until I see it on something a bit more official.

Also, I really would like SOMEONE to prove that the 359M's are cast and not forged. I'd like official proof, not second hand knowledge.

Nope. Ian (alpina527) was correct. The GTS does indeed come with spacers: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=491118 Your BMW knowledge was consistently spot on before, Ian. Sorry for doubting you.
