Did you choose the ones for F90 cause I didn't see a category for G05.

Yeah, I used G30 as my search, but the F90 is the same as well.

Yep, doing it myself at a garage where I can rent lifts on Saturday.

Called around and most shops wouldn't install for me.

I'll take pictures.

Action shot.

$6 wheel hanger from Amazon is a great idea if anyone else decides to do this mod DIY.

gtank · 04-06-2019, 03:46 PM

Right side completed.

gtank · 04-06-2019, 03:48 PM

Left side stock for comparison

gtank · 04-06-2019, 03:52 PM

End result. Very hard to capture in photos with this car!

5mm is definitely the right size for the fronts with these wheels. You probably could do 20mm in the back, but I'm happy with 15mm.

Well done gtank. Appreciate taking the time to do this. I like the setup on the front and rear. If you could redo it would you 20mm?

I'm happy with the 15mm, which will work better with my Cooper tires, but if I was running the stock tires, I'd probably go for the 17.5mm set. It's pretty hard to gauge until I've driven it around and look at it more.

Here's a quick comparison to stock (left is with spacers).

Perfect comparison. Big difference. Looks great!!

Now that I'm looking at it the 15mm are just right.

Looking forward to hear any driving impressions you have with these spacers installed.

Really no difference from stock.

Do you think 12mm or 10mm would work in the front?

Depends on the wheels you are running.

I think it would be too much with the 740Ms.

r33_RGSport · 04-08-2019, 05:15 PM

@gtank , looks good.
From your pictures, here are my concerns.
- Front Spacer, it is installed backward. I hope it is corrected before the wheel is installed.
- Front Spacer, it doesn't seems to have enough hub lip left for the wheel to sit properly. I understand that you use the wheel hanger, but your wheel need to sit on the hub lip instead of just relying on the 5 lug bolts to transfer the load of the car to the wheel.
