15mm / 12mm Spacers Installed

Picked up the car last weekend and couldn't help but notice how sunken in the wheels were.

Had some spacers laying around the shop so I ordered the 90mm stud kit and installed everything this morning.

15mm on the front and 12mm on the rear.

Can't believe what a difference these have made!

Enjoy!

Do you need the stud extension in order to run said spacers? I didn't know that.

Take the spacers off and get wider wheels.

Spacers alter the car. If the hubs were supposed to be wider at the point the wheel bolts on, BMW would have made it that way.

Loved your ED pics of the 335i LeMans so much that I got one. Does this mean I need to get an M3 now?
