M Sport stance

X54TH · 02-24-2019, 09:22 AM

I was driving behind my wife's F15 M Sport and was a bit surprised how the F15's tires (315/35R20) seemed thin or maybe pushed in. When I got beside the F15 the gap between the fender and tire is huge (see pic). I'm planning a Summer setup on the M2 with tires, rims and possibly spacers so maybe this has drawn my attention to the stance. The M2 is tight / full.

I've order an M Sport w/ 22" 742m rims with the air suspension. Is anyone planning or done any alterations with Tires and or Rims and or Spacers to their G05?

I've been patiently waiting for someone to add spacers to the 22".

Lol. I guess I am as well.

I just had to go to the dealership to look. The rears are 315/30R22.

On the plus side, I went 2200 miles and didn’t get any stone chips behind the wheel wells. Almost unbelievable considering the amount of salt and cinders that were on the roads as I left the north east heading south.

You are just blowing them all out of the water. Nobody is in front of you with those speeds and acceleration

Guys behind you might have some chips

There is some true to that as I don’t like to follow anybody as to avoid stone chips on my hood. I did seem to own the left lane.

Thank goodness I kept it in “Ecco mode” to keep my speed reasonable.

I had some H&R spacers on my F25 (12 front and 15 rear) and will likely consider the same brand again.
Waiting for winter to be over and get the 22's back on

ScottMZ3 · 02-25-2019, 05:00 PM

Thankfully the wheel well gap is WAY smaller on the G05. Actually looks just about perfect. I do think the wheels could use a small spacer however just to push them out a tad.

X54TH · 03-29-2019, 08:52 PM

Soon... soon. My local customer supposed to drop of his G05 next week.

gtank · 04-01-2019, 10:04 PM

I just ordered some spacers...guess I'll be a guinea pig on this one.

Purchased 5mm front and 15mm rear from ECS. Should have them installed next weekend if I can find the time.
