Spacers for wider stance

roadracer516 · 02-28-2023, 08:44 PM

Installed 15mm front and 20mm rear KSP forged hub centric spacers. Really like the results of wider stance on stock 18" wheels.

Is it really that difficult to post pictures in the correct orientation here?

They were correct on upload and changed when posted. Let’s try again.

How’s the steering at speed?

Due to our winter snow here, only drove it about 7 miles after install. No big difference in steering, but need to drive more to get a better feel. I would not expect much difference in my experience with multiple cars that I have added spacers to.

What size lug bolts did you use? Did you get a kit? Info on this? Looks good. I also have mineral white MSport... do you thing you might need stone guards behind front wheels

Great questions! Here is what I bought. I already had front 15mm Turner Motorsports 15mm spacers, so just purchased the extended lug bolts. KSP spacers were a kit with the proper length extended lugs. I do not believe that the additional poke will require any further stone guard protection.

NOTE: I have used many different KSP spacer configs on various BMW's and they are great quality with zero issues. I have a full set of 12mm KSP spacers on my X3 M40i as well currently.

CHEERS!

Is this purely for looks or can it improve performance? I assume that 3cm wider front stance and 4cm rear is negligible?

For me its completely aesthetics, not aware of any performance gains.
