H&R Spacers OR Macht Schnell Spacers???

Padfan9 · 01-13-2015, 11:24 AM

Which one would you choose? Any differences? I am going 12/15 with extended black lug nuts with the KW HAS kit. Thanks in advance!

15mm front / 12mm rear is a good choice. Don't forget to get RAD extended locking bolts.

Some reported vibration and seizing with H&R. One person reported vibration with Burger Tuning, which I haven't heard that issue from anyone else. I would go between Burger Tuning or M S, which ever is cheaper. Make sure you use a wire brush/brake cleaner to clean the hub/wheel surface and use a torque wrench on the bolts.

Macht Schnell is who we go with. MS makes it easier with the black lug bolts already included as well.

This is what is the 15/12 looks like on a BSM car

That looks great! Is that one lowered as well?

Mr. Hankey · 01-14-2015, 10:57 AM

Why run 12 mm spacers in the back as opposed to running 15 all around guys? Not planning on lowering (ewww I know), but will this cause rubbing? or does it "square off" the appearance better with 15 mm front / 12 mm rear rather than 15 all around?

Thanks in advance. Don't have a car yet, just nesting...

That one is lowered on H&R sport springs.

Will my Macht Snell spacers and lugs that I used on my E92 work on my F82?

the longest locking bolts i've seen in our thread are RAD's +11mm, which is suitable for 10mm and 12mm spacers, but not more.

Our cars' thread is M14x1.25. Standard length is 27mm, just add the mm needed to accommodate the spacers. Example: 37mm can fit 10mm/12mm spacers. 43mm will fit 15mm spacers.

I was looking at those also...they look thoughtfully lighter than the others...how is the quality of the spacer? Are the rectangular cutout areas painted/coated as well? That was the only reservation I had about them vs the others as their website seems to show them as unpainted inside and I'd worry about corrosion. Simply cannot beat that price tho...

stevenc · 01-17-2015, 07:22 AM

Spacers arrived with correct extended lugs. 2 day free shipping. The cutout areas are anodized just the like rest of the spacer so there wont be any corrosion. Ill update you after a weekend of driving.

Car ran around without incident. No wheel vibration and the looks are spot on.

Great! Thanks so much for the info Steven. What sizes did you go with? 15 front/12 rear?

stevenc · 01-18-2015, 05:04 PM

^ yup

m4 java green · 01-24-2015, 04:59 PM

Are guys tracking with these spacers? Looking for the best track setup with 19" stock wheels and tires. what about 12.5mm spacers front, 10mm spacers rear?

Tiago@VRSF · 01-28-2015, 09:54 AM

I'll get some pics of our setup on the OEM 19's. We used 15 up front and 12 in the rears with our spacers, looks/fits perfect with the H&R springs.

any update on the Renn sport spacers? Any problems? Happy with them so far?

stevenc · 10-26-2015, 01:12 PM

^ No problems what so ever

64-bit · 12-08-2015, 11:04 AM

I was thinking 12mm FRONT and 15mm BACK, but looks like the other way around is the correct way to do it.

I got a car jack in my garage, should I be concern about installing myself? I really hate bringing my car to mechanics, and BMW dealer probably will cost you an arm and a leg for a 30 min job.

Please advice.
