Wheel spacer question

Gravityct · 12-30-2023, 10:09 PM

I've got a 24 G42 on 791 style wheels with factory R.F. 225 tires. I'm thinking about going with some burger 13mm front and rear spacers. My question is, has anyone running this setup or something similar experienced any negative affects? i.e. increased tire tracking, rubbing under hard corning.
Also looking for any feedback on potential improvements to handling, better lap times and whatnot. I like the flush look but don't want to "ruin the car".

Thanks.

Zero issues with that setup. Get them, it makes for a good visual improvement.

As far as handling differences you won’t notice anything. Besides the better looks you wouldn’t even know they were installed.

Zero issues here with 13mm front and rear. Just make sure you re-torque your wheels to 105 ft lbs about a week after driving.

A wider stance 'technically increases' handling and stability. But as said before , you aren't going to feel or notice any difference . It just looks much better.

You can buy longer ones from McGard same as the longer wheel bolts you’ll need.

After install I did notice a touch more sensitivity to tracking but am overall pleased. Thanks for the feedback.

Could you throw some pics in here? New '24 w/BMW 19" wheels and thinking to do the same. I'm not sure regarding spacer width (have not measured yet) but was thinking 13 - 15mm rear and 11 in the front'ish. Thanks

Do you need a realignment after installing spacers?

Not OP and not an idea angle, but here’s my gal on 10f 13r

Added another one.
