wheel spacers, advisable?
Hi guys,
Did the H&R spacers to my E46 M3 long time ago and now with CSL coming home, are spacers advisable for the car? Solely just to make the car looks nicer. i remember it made so much different to the M3 just by adding in the spacers the cars look so mean. Thanks ! |

For driving dynamics? No
For looks? Yes

They say adding spacers only to the front helps reduce the slight slow speed understeer the car has.
I have ran 15mm front and 12mm rear for a while now - it certainly helps with aesthetics.

I have same as above, and it improves slow speed understeer with no down sides, as well as looks a lot better.

How much bigger does the spacer in the front need to be to help with the understeer?
I think a square setup would be the better choice if you just want to achieve exactly that.

I wanted to retain the OEM wheels, so went with 15mm front and 12mm rear spacers.

I run 15mm front and 10mm rears, have done for years with no issues, in fact I had the same if not a similar setup on my old E46 M3's too.
H&R spacers are very good, so are the BIMECC ones. Make sure you get hubcentric! |
