Spacers on 09 E92 m-sport stock susp?

vtdrugs · 08-11-2009, 01:58 PM

Looking for what size spacers to get for an 09 E92 m-sport with the 18" rims and stock susp to push the wheels out a little, but not rub the fenders. Nothing dramatic, just a little wider stance. Also, where would I purchace them? Thanks in advance.

I'm going to do this until my wheels/suspension come on my M-Sport as well.

Check with EAS (http://www.europeanautosource.com/in...ath=67_203_282) for the spacers, and I would go with the +12mm in the fronts and +15mm in the rears. I think this is the closest to the M3 stance, but will most likely need fender's rolled if you go with a larger tire/wheel and or lower suspension.

Thats the stance i'm going with on the same set-up as yours and then once the wheels and suspension go on, I'll just roll the fenders out.

Rogue Engineering spacers...top-notch quality. I prefer them over any other brand.

I think Hyper's suggestions above sound about right.

I would suggest getting a tape measure and seeing how much clearance you have between the fender and fender liner before rubbing issues will occur. From there, you can purchase a hub centric spacer.

The reason why I suggest measuring it yourself is because each cars alignment, height, and tire have different characteristics. So a recommended spacer for one may not work on another.

I dunno, I have a E92 with sports package (ZSP I believe it is called) and my fronts look fine. It is only the rears that need to come out 10-15mm or so it seems.

remmib · 08-12-2009, 08:54 AM

I'd say 10mm in the rear. Front doesn't need more than 5mm.

Charles is right, best to measure what you have now. 10/12 F/R is appropriate for the factory sport wheels. We have these available from H&R with the longer bolts if you need a set as well.
