Wheel Spacers
Anyone know a good spacer kit? And any rec's on length to go with? I'd prefer the wheels to stick out past the fender a bit, and not cause rubbing..
Thanks in advance!

I PM'd C63 Guy (he owns the EvoSport modded monster) and he told me that when he measured it, you can go 10mm fronts and 15mm rear on the stock 18s. H&R sells a hub-centric spacer kit.

I have H&Rs. If the tires stick out past the fenders, they will rub when the suspension compresses enough. I had 10mm in the rear and it made the stock contis poke out too much, so I installed 5mm. You will also need to get longer lug bolts.

What is the width and offset of your wheels?

My experience with spacers arent very good, the fact that you have to replcae the lug bolts with new ones renders them a little weak and I have seen them snap off, they were H&R spacers and bolts, so they werent crappy ones, that kind of spooked me as if I was cornering hard I would always have the paranoia of them breaking.

I can safely assume they were properly torqued? Many wheels uses spacers such as Lorinser, Carlsson, Brabus, Kleemann, and others so they fit a variety of models.
