Spacers newbie question
I've started thinking about spacers for my G82. I am not getting them for any practical or performance reason at all, so it's simply for the looks of it. I imagine perhaps fitting 12 mm for both front and rear. As far as the Internet has been able to show me this is a good measurement for (1) getting a nice improvement in appearance, and (2) not messing too much with the offset while keeping safe from grinding the wheel arches when turning.
Now to the question: What would be the potential consequences of getting these fitted? I'm not track driving my car except for the occasional "weekend casual cocktail track drive". Mainly it's a daily driver. I just want to keep safe of stability- and wear issues. |

You should search the forum. Spacers have been discussed at length.

I agree, definitely search for more info. The short answer is, 12mm are going to rub the fender front arch liners in reverse, if you have Pirellis. You can get away with it, if you have Michelin PS4S. I have the BMW 1000M wheels, 285/20 in the front, and they rub in reverse, without spacers on the xDrive. I literally just ordered 2 sets of 13mm spacers, 10 minutes ago. I have 10/12 now, I need more in the front. I have also ordered some screens to cut out the fins and replace them, so nothing rubs. Like this.

Great info on the cutouts and replacement screens I'm on P4S (but xdrive) so it might work if lucky. |

The spacers move the wheels outward, to the fender edge, or slightly over with wider spacers, slightly changing the driving dynamic. Although, I suspect you can correct some of the dartiness, aligning the car with the spacers installed.
