Ive had spacers on every BMW and 911 Ive owned. I have never once had warped rotors from spacers. Ive had MS spacer, HR spacer, and probably some cheap ass ones too. I'm not saying it can't happen. But I've never had an issue myself.

Ive had vibration at 80mph on my E92's with some spacers. But thats about it.

Hi Shaun-

YES SPACERS CAN ABSOLUTELY CAUSE WARPED ROTORS.
HOW?
I will put this in layman’s terms.
Due to the changes in geometry and this signals your auto’s computer receives, the finely engineered safety systems, namely skid/traction control, can cause false and/or error signals to be sent to your cars computer which in turn activates your stability control. There is no magic here, anti-skid control is a system whereby your brakes are utilized (with different amounts of braking force applied to each tire rotor) to prevent loss of control. If you are driving and pushing the accelerator while at the same time your skid control is activate that is the same as pushing the brake pedal and accelerating at the same time.
The force of internal combustion (accelerating) whilst your calipers are clamping on your rotors, even slightly, CREATES TREMENDOUS HEAT. Said heat will absolutely WARP YOUR ROTORS. Ignore anyone who doesn’t understand such basic physics let alone auto knowledge should stick to shuffling papers and not offer advice. Happy motoring

Do you even have a clue how these sensors work? This is complete bullsh*t.

I think he copied / pasted this from his service writer? If so, that's scary. None of that actually makes sense. It reads like Chat GPT beta version 1.

My 991.1 Carrera S had spacers as a FACTORY OPTION. Not aftermarket, not Porsche Tecquipment, factory. They were literally listed on my build sheet.

BMW also used Motorsport spacers (5mm/15mm) on the E92 BMW M3 GT4.

a 10mm spacer acts no differently than a 10mm lower offset.

I really like this torque wrench for wheels: https://www.amazon.com/MichaelPro-MP.../dp/B0833V88KB

It's adjustable like the linked one but had a free spin mode that's easily convertible between it and torque wrench mode. I find it super easy to take off and on wheels with it.

I didn't buy the extension kit as it's not necessary, but I did buy those protector attachments. Very worth it.
