Yeah of course. I ordered 15&12mm but they sent me the wrong size that's why I have none rn I should have them goin on today tho

Looks good and will look much better with the spacers on!

I'm still waiting for official confirmation from KW that their HAS kits are made for the M xDrive. I know a few people already installed those but I don't want to get one only for KW to release a specific version for M xDrive later. Anyone have an update or confirmation?

Just so you know- you have PS4's so 15mm squared will fit great without rubbing:

Just put spacers on 15mm rear and 12mm front. I actually rub on some bumps and if I add some people in the car I'm sure it'll be worse. Kinda bummed probably end up going down to a 12 but I love the way it looks rn

Soylent · 10-12-2021, 08:21 PM

You want the wider spacers up front, right? I would just do the 15 square like Vic's

15 is rubbing in the back on some bumps. I can either run a smaller spacer or raise it up a half inch not sure what I should do yet

I would try 12mm Rear and 15mm Front. From all I've heard this is fine on PS4s.

I bought 12mm Front & Rear but probably won't install them until I do the suspension a few weeks down the road...

I dont rub with 15 square but I think you are lower than I am....maybe dial it up 5mm? Im on MSS as you might know and still have 5-8mm left in the rear.

I think I'm gonna end up leaving the 12 in front and order a set of 12s for the rear. 15 in the front might poke out a bit and throw a lot of rocks

TrentMeister · 10-13-2021, 02:02 PM

Raise it .5 inch I think it'll look better that way

Seedster2 · 10-13-2021, 07:38 PM

I would just swap the spacers. Put 15 up front and 12 in the rear. It's what most shops suggest if you're running Michelins and dont want rubbing.

Salespunk · 10-14-2021, 09:19 PM

Agreed on raising the rear. Looks like it has reverse rake right now.

barryc365 · 10-14-2021, 09:57 PM

Put the 15's in front and 12's in rear. Will look much better and problem will be solved

The rubbing is just rubber on rubber and will stop quite quickly anyway
