Perhaps also true on passenger side at/near full counterclockwise turn, but I do not recall ever hearing it to date. . . quite possibly because I have not made a full counterclockwise turn in reverse?

VERY minimal and of ZERO concern to me.

No rub appreciated at high speed, passenger load or sharp forward turns.

Thinking of ordering same specs as you as well. Don't think it would be of any concern at all. It is literally tire and inner plastic wheel well plastic - two of the most common impact areas - that rub against each other.

When it comes to bang for buck, the spacers are about the best $225 one can spend on the G80/82.

Purely aesthetic endeavor . . . improved stance appearance AND addresses fact that the stock front wheels/tires seem routinely too recessed in recent ///M models.

We are on the same page regarding a lack of any concern over a mild rub in reverse with aggressive turning. However, others may not share our view on the matter.

I will not be lowering the G80, but suspect 15mm up front might be a bit much to bite off for anyone looking to pursue MP-HAS or other aftermarket height adjustment option.

IS there a reason to have thicker spacers at front and thinner at rear ? If I purchased the kit and worrying about the rubbing, cant I just put 12mm set at front side and 15mm set at rear side ? Anyone has done that ?

Sorry, dont have the car just just to try myself

From my prior post, "Purely aesthetic endeavor . . . improved stance appearance AND addresses fact that the stock front wheels/tires seem routinely too recessed in recent ///M models."

You can set up your spacers in any manner you desire, however, I think you will find there is a reason most individuals on this forum go with bigger spacers in the front than rear.

Edit:
About as close as I could get to before (top) and after (bottom) matching angles. Very clear in photos what is even more apparent in person, which is more aggressive front wheel/tire inset compared to rear in stock set-up. . . and why most individuals go with bigger spacers in the front than rear.

Agree. I used theirs as well but went 10/13. I don't know how you can go bigger than 13 without poke.

So if you have Michelins, 15 in the front 12 in the back .

If you got Pirellis, 12 all around.

I guess I hit the jackpot with 4S so I copped 15/12..
Installing on the 19th pictures soon

Heres my G80 Lowered on Kw has kit with Fc 15mm/12mm spacers. I did not experience any rubbing. I do have the Pirellis.

Did you check to see if AC just knocked out those 2 fins, when they installed the spacers, so there would be no issues? Or maybe the ride height, changes the geometry, enough, to allow the tires to turn in, in a different area, not allowing the tires to rub?

Ill check and see if they're there. Car is currently set on the lowest recommended setting in the front.

beautiful drop

[nardof80]

Just took delivery of a G80 xdrive. Installed fc 12mm in the front, 15mm in rear. 15mm rear makes the stance of the car look more aggressive imo. Was also one to receive the pirelli tires instead Michelin p4s. The pirelli’s do run against the raised bump in the front wheel well only when cutting the wheel all the way and more so with reversing on an incline driveway. Think I may take to performance shop and have them take a heat gun to wheel well to push in. Open to suggestions on different solutions.

[barryc365]

I've been running 15mm spacers with the PZeros for 9 months and while there is some mild rubbing in reverse on full lock I would not sweat it. Once you are aware of this you adjust and it's not an issue. You can always hit the fender with a heat gun if you want a few mm clearance, I didn't bother.

The Michelins are fine it seems, it's just the PZeros

Thats what I thought.

I have the Michelin on my M8 now.

Took the Pirellis off because the PS4 looked more aggressive and felt more confident.

[rmeitz167]

I have lowered several g8x cars. kw has and ast springs. Used h&r 12 and 15mm spacers. The pirellis hit both every time when full lock backing up. The michelins do not. Most likely if you had a shop install these and havent experienced rubbing its because that shop clearanced them or they broke on the test drive.

[JDR_G80]

I'm happy with my conservative 10mm all around with Pirellis. Still looks aggressive combined with the AST drop

[Limegrntaln]

I hate to break open sleeping threads, but I, along with a few other friends, have come to the simple conclusion that we definitely know Pirellis rub, and we were also under the impression that Pirellis were ok, under 12mm front.

Well, come to find out, it seems like the RWD and the xDrive must have a different front track, ever so slightly, as to cause rubbing with certain tire configurations. I have a G82 xDrive with Pirellis, and 10mm spacers up front, have knocked off the outside of at least one fin, on each wheel well, off.

I have friends with 12mm spacers, square, with a G82 rwd car, with Pirellis, and they don’t rub. Now, we also know the xDrive chassis, has a quicker steering rack. Is this what’s making the difference, in respect to the rubbing. So, as it seems, right now:

xDrive Pirellis: 10mm front rubs (my car)
XDrive Michelin: 12mm front good (are 15mm front good with Michelins on an xDrive car?)

RWD Pirellis: 12mm front good. 15mm rubs
RWD Michelin: 12 and 15mm front good.
