Are your tires PZeros? 18F? Can you turn without major rubbing?

18mm will rub nicely LOL....

I could possibly use 18's but I move my 15's from other G80 which has Pirellis

Yeah, I have Zeros'. Ugh. I like to do equal spacing. Id prefer to have 15mm all around. I just dont want to cut any fins off. If I dont have too. Id also like to get rid of these balloon ass Zeros up front. So much meat on the edge it bothers me. Your front tire looks exactly how I like my tires to look.

I didnt cut my fins on the blue G80- we melted them back but Ill tell you that you will never see or miss anything that is shaved or cut unlike a beard.

I did run 15/15 on both cars but on my M8 I run 18 front and 12 rear.

Yes, 18F with stock Pirelli's. It will rub hard if you don't either cut the vanes behind the coolers or use a heat gun to reform them.

Thank you very much. I will probably go the melted way. Id rather have all the factory radiator protection than less of it.

So 12 Front and 15 Rear should work without any melting, heating, fender rolling? Pirellis

12mm might still rub on the stupid vents with Pirellis but I swear its only an ego thing when one backs up LOL--- People might look at you funny

You can slice it ever so slightly.

Have a March production slot. At what point can I find out if my M3 will be delivered with Michelin or Pirelli tires, such that I can order spacers in advance? Thanks!

Back in my E92 days, spacers would sometimes causes some steering wheel shake at 80+ MPH. I don't remember having any issues with spacers on my F80.

But does anyone notice any steering wheel shake in the G8X with spacers?

Quality spacers and proper installation will not have issues. We've used Macht Schnell spacers exclusively for the last 15 years.
