Question about spacers on OEM wheels

miringrains · 04-15-2014, 09:22 AM

I have a 2011 m3 e93 with the 19 inch wheels.. What kind of spacers can i run both front and rear?

chris s · 04-15-2014, 09:30 AM

you may want to be more specific... OEM tire sizes? Suspension work? Generally guys run a 12 f / 15 r setup for a nice aggressive fit.

usually its the other way around. the thicker spacer goes on the front so 15f and 12r is what i ran when i had the e90.

I always felt vibration on my E90 w/ 15s up front. Hated it. (Had them installed by numerous ppl who said they were just installed wrong.)

never had that issue but as soon as i started tracking the car and switching wheels i quit using them as its a pain to take off with any speed. sometimes a lot of swearing and sweating to get them off, thats what she said.

15F/12R is recommended for most stock setups, assuming you are still on stock Continential or PSS. Pirellis can run a bit wider.

The above linked thread will show tons of examples, including before/after.

Turner spacers are probably the easiest to take off as they have notches to allow them to be pried off rather easily.

Im running MS 15f/12r on my stock ZCP's with p-zero's. No issues with vibration or anything. Prior to install, i put on some anti-seize to make un-installing easier if I were to take them off.

15F/12R is what we normally recommend as well.

Sirius Black · 04-19-2014, 02:11 PM

I'm running 15f/12r Turner's. No vibration. Yes, the slots do make it a lot easier to remove them. I also use an anti-seize compound as well.

Ditto stock 19inch rims and suspension 15f/12.5r turner spacers, no vibration and no rubbing.

dmk08 · 04-20-2014, 11:26 AM
