Spacers installed 10mm&12mm

iv-128i · 07-24-2013, 09:08 PM

Just installed StanceTEK spacers so I wanted to share the pictures with you. Great quality and has nothing to envy to popular brands. 10mm in the front and 12mm at the back.
I love the look and it seems to be the best setup to be rubbing free... at least with stock tires and suspension

Im about to be running the same setup.. but lowered on eibach springs. I'm rolling my fenders before i even try haha.

Thanks for the review, I decided to try them out after seeing what you had to say and I am so happy I did.

I`ve owned a lot of different spacers before and these easily can compete for the highest quality. Definitely a steal at the price. Spacers make a huge different in the look of the car too, I was surprised to see how big the difference was.

Looks good, 10's are always hit or miss on the front of BMW's due to varying hub lip sizes but guess you didn't encounter any issues. Just be careful on the curbs!

Looks great. What do you recommend for a 2011 135i with M-sport package, using 225/40R18 tires in the front with M3 control arms and camber plates, and 255/35R18 in the back?

I would not mind larger track in the front for better grip in the curves, especially at the race track. How much would a four wheel kit cost? Any potential rubbing issues? My tires are Bridgestone Potenza RE-11.

Thanks.

I just learned that spacers may not be safe on the track. I will park that idea for now.

dcaron9999 · 10-30-2013, 06:03 AM

Finally decided to order BMS spacers before my lastlapping event for 2013.

Really happy with quality of BMS spacers, but got a slight rubbing issue in the rear with the 10mm spacers and 255/35 tires during high speed turns overy bumpy pavement. This is even with max negative camber set at 1.6* in the rear. The front 20mm spacers are great and no rubbing at all.

Wheels look much better in wheel wells, not as much tuck due to the agressive negative camber Im running.

I will get my fenders rolled.

The grip you get up front would be so minimal and it'd come at the expense of slower turn in and more stress on your wheel bearings.
