I ordered 15, 13 and 10 spacers. I just found out I have Michelin tires and I also ordered AST springs. Can't wait to see the outcome. I understand if you lower car with Michelin tires and 12 spacers, you will get a slight rub.

I know turner sells 7.5mm spacers for the F8x, need to check if they have updated ones. For a subtle look at stock height, 10/7.5 or 7.5/5 might be a good setup. |

If you find 7.5/8mm ones that have the lip (hubcentric) pls post it here. I've looked and havent been able to find.

Forgive my noobness as I've never really messed with wheels but am loving what I'm seeing the photos - what are the benefits of wheel spacers other than the apparent stance upgrade? Are there any notable cons?

The cons are noted quite extensively in this thread. The most obvious con is that your tires can rub against the fender lining and/or wheel well which is not only audible from the cabin, but can cause unnecessary and unsafe tire degradation. You can resolve these issues by reshaping (using heat) or cutting into the fender lining, but this is not recommended. Aside from that, if not installed properly with a lubricant, the spacers might adhere to the hub resulting in a more difficult and delicate disassembly. All of these scenarios are easily avoidable if you do your homework and stay within the recommended spacer sizes identified herein. I received the Pirellis from factory but will eventually switch to the Michelins. I have done a ton of research on this topic and listed my preferred setup below for convenience. Both setups should result in no rubbing issues or the need for cutting/heating the fender linings. Pirellis (with KW HAS) 10mm front 12mm rear Michelins (with KW HAS) 15mm front 13mm rear Last edited by spicoli024; 01-09-2022 at 06:08 AM.. |

Sorry for duplicating my question from another thread. My upcoming Marina Bay Blue M3 Xdrive will be my daily driver including wet and snowy roads, it will never be tracked though. I don‘t plan to lower it but would love to add some conservative spacers to the Front axle only while maintaining steering feel and driving dynamics close to oem. Has anyone tried front only 5mm spacers with stock height on the M3? Future Classic seem to have a quality product. (I‘ve used H&R spacers for years with no issues on many sport cars).

Just installed Future Classic Spacers on Michelin. F15/R12 and zero rubbing. Thanks for all the advice here, it is my first experience with spacers.

I have tried them and there are NO issues... the only problem was my shop had a set of used ones so I need new ones.
No rubbing at all.

Did you have to cut into or mold the front fender linings?

No because I have the PS4's; you most certainly will with the Pirellis.

Ok, I have a couple DIY spacer install questions. My M4 arrived last Fri, but bc of snow I couldn't pick up until tomorrow. My CA txt me pics however, and I hit the tire lottery with PS4, so I'll be going with FC 15f/12r.
Now I swap out my summer/winters seasonally myself on all my cars, so I'm somewhat knowledgeable enough to think I can install these spacers myself. I just have few quick questions from watching various IND videos. -I've noticed some of IND videos show applying anti-seize to the hub screws and some videos that don't apply the anti-seize, so yea or nay? I don't plan on removing the spacers frequently as I do with my seasonally wheel changes. -Watching the videos, obviously you would apply anti-seize to the original hub before installing the spacer, but why isn't anti-seize then applied to the spacer hub before mounting the tire as one would do without a spacer? Am I missing something here? -And do you guys just use hand pressure to mount flush the spacer to the hub, or I have seen others use a rubber mallet to knock flush? Thanks

I used anti-seize on the hub screws. Only used hand pressure as the fit was perfect. Love the look after fitting these.

well having had 963Ms + michelin all seasons on until today, i put my 826M + pzeros (what came with the car) and with 12mm future classic spacers on all wheels, 100% rubbing on the front when turning the wheels 100%, like backing out of a parking space, etc. No rubbing with the all seasons setup. About to swap the all seasons for cup2s for track season on the 963Ms, hopefully they don't rub.
