So anything over 10mm and you will have NO vibration issues? I was thinking of 12/15?
You're saying that most vibration issues are due to rust buildup or improper alignment/warped hub/etc.?

Do the use of spacers require you to keep retorquing them every so often??? Don't want to end up buying them and it come loose and my wheel fall off...

Are there any downsides to spacers? Does extending the wheel out further put any extra torque on the lugs or anything?
Someone mentioned this to me regarding spacers in general. I'm wondering if it's ever a problem on our cars? |

The GT4 M3 even comes pre-equipped with spacers from BMW. BMWs are not the only vehicles to utilize spacers. With the minimal amounts we're discussing about on M3 applications, I doubt this is even an issue to be concerned about.

Dang! I was thinking of going 10mm front and rear!
So why exactly would 10mm not work? I read it, but don't really understand the issue with the spacer bottoming while sitting on the hub lip. But regardless, would the better bet for me to go front - 12mm and rear - 8mm?

Sure thing - we'll even install them in-house for you if you drop by.

FYI I noticed occasional rubbing with 15mm rear spacers on my E93 + 19" when going over large bumps with 2 or 3 passengers, all EDC settings, top up or down. Front 18mm's seem to be fine so far.
