Wheel Spacers
Hello everyone, I'm not sure what wheel spacers I should purchase for my F22. I'm looking for 10/12mm on the front and 15mm on the back. Any recommendations?
Thanks! |

I'm going 12mm front and 15mm rear. Those look best to me. There is a post with pics here showing off a few configurations. Take a
Look at that then decide.

I've checked out various threads on wheel spacers. I've read that they often introduce vibration. My car has zero vibration at the moment so I don't want to invest in spacers if it is going to cause vibration. Who makes the best spacers for the M235?

A few thoughts on spacers. 1) As the car is already design to have under steer, I personally would not go wider on the rear than the front (ie 12 front 15 rear). 2) Driving through the first wet season in my car, I believe spacers would likely increase the amount of road grime and dirt thrown from the tires on the side of the car. 3) They are mainly for looks (handling improvement is marginal in daily driving) 4) They may increase the load/wear on the wheel bearings vs the stock set up.

Just did mine w/10mm front and 12mm rear. I found that 15mm rear was just a little too much for my taste. Either 10 or 12mm works up front but decided to stay conservative and go 10mm and very pleased with the look....subtle but more aggressive look vs stock.
