18mm front spacers?

DS_BMW · 04-16-2022, 11:13 PM

Is anyone running 18mm up front with PS4s? Any issues?

Is your car lowered?

Yes I'm running 12s square now but it's not enough imo.

DS_BMW · 04-17-2022, 11:10 AM

I was thinking of moving to 15s all around or 15s rear and 18s front.

Im lowered with 15mm front spacers on PS4's...

There is room I know this

Laguna01///M3 · 04-18-2022, 03:23 PM

I'm running 18mm up front. AST Springs, PS4S

Only trimmed the fins a bit in the liner just to be safe.

DS_BMW · 04-18-2022, 10:05 PM

Ordered 15s and 18s to try.

Do you have more pics like Vic above? Want to see how much the 18s poke.

DS_BMW · 04-19-2022, 07:11 AM

Here is a 12 on front for reference.

psylovibe · 04-19-2022, 07:42 AM

I have 15 in the front with Michelin. I think I have room for 18 and I was thinking to do the same myself.

FISH22 · 04-19-2022, 08:13 AM

I recently upsized to 15s from 12s, on PS4S. Lowered on KW HAS, not slammed in the front though. Running just over -1 camber in the front, and looks like there is definitely room to go 18s.

Any negative impacts with 18s besides possibly rubbing? Curious how the characteristics of the car might change.

All I have in my phone at the moment, but I can grab some later. They don't poke at all, could probably even go 20MM.

I wouldn't have believed they were 18mm, If I didn't see the stampings myself.

That looks very good. I will most likely go 18s once I switch out to Michelins. Currently on the dreaded Pirellis.

Honestly if the spacers are installed correctly then they will be hubcentric and you will see zero difference. The only true change is minute unsprung weight of 3mm vs 15mm (this is nothing). Your track is widened but thats fine. Im running 15mm squared but run an 18mm front and 12mm rear on my M8; no issues except better optics

Think there will be any rubbing with 18s?

Ind just reached out said they just got them in. Hope to get them on this week if they show.

I did ask Autocouture and they do have them in stock if anyone needs a set.
