Talking E92 w/189's + Sport susp + BMS 15mm Spacers = Perfect

OK through my searches on the topic I've seen there's a good amount of people looking for pics of this exact setup. Here ya go:









I ordered the BMS 15mm spacers from mike@n54tuning on Monday around noon and they were in my mailbox by Wednesday morning! He responded to my PM's immediately and the service was top notch start to finish, would highly recommend!!

There are no issues with rubbing (Bridgestone RFT's) and the ride is perfect. Honestly the change is really noticeable, the rear of the car is now correctly proportioned and looks much more aggressive than factory. They help get rid of the reverse rake these cars have as well, by pushing the wheels flush with the fender the illusion of the rear being lower than the front is decreased a solid amount. One of the best 'bang for your buck' mods available

*that's just a reflection of the clouds on my hood
**also.. these are iPhone pics, quit blaming the phone on your shitty pics guys

Nice mod!! I really want one of my own like this.

Are you running staggered (Front: 8J, Rear: 8.5J), or flat (8J all around) setup for OEM 189?

Is the 15mm spacer on Rear only, or on Front as well?

Yep it's the staggered 189's. The 15mm spacer is only on the rear, the fronts are still completely factory.

Preciate the compliments guys! Hopefully this thread will be easy to find when others are in the same boat looking to do spacers on the factory setup, pretty sure I hit all the right keywords in making the post. Best I could find in my searches were always cars on H&R's as well, so it was tough to imagine it w/out the lowering springs.

Looks good.
I did the same but started with 20mm then to 15mm. I just couldn't stand the big gap between the rears so I had to upgrade to 275 rears to get the look I wanted.

Looks very good. Did you need lug bolt extensions?

Edit: nevermind they come with them
