Those running spacers...

hamy · 01-22-2020, 09:32 AM

Even with all the well documented threads/pictures on the subject of spacers I can't seem to get an good sense of if the front or back needs a bigger push spacer wise?

It seems most are running 12/12, but does the front or back need more? Or is it pretty much square? It looks like the front could use a for more MM.

As a reference I'll be running the 265/40 & 295/35 setup many others have opted for, but on a set of wheels that are 21x9.5 +30 and 21x10.5 +35. I'm thinking of adding spacers only to the front...or worst case 5mm to the back too.

Thanks!!

It is pretty much square.

When I did the measurements, I have to check and recheck.

Thank you so much for the quick reply. Did HRE give you offsets on your setup? Fitment looks amazing I'd be really pleased if mine turn out like that.

Why use spacers ?? HRE will make the correct offset

Yeah I would much rather use wheels with lower offset than spacers.

It is pretty much the same as stock 21" with 15mm all around.

Yup, 15mm on stickers would be pretty flush. I'm running 20mm f/r cuz I wanted super aggressive/slight poke stance.

Great feedback thank you guys!

For those questioning spacers. Wheel shopping for the 21" X3MC fitment is not easy assuming you want something high quality, but not full custom forged. I'd rather buy a high quality wheel (in my case HRE Flow Form) and require a spacer to make it fit my aesthetic needs than buy some cheap cast wheels that offer lower offsets but the wrong hub size and lots of added weight.

Hopefully the big names will embrace the X3M and offer more wheel options in the near future.

I'm running my 15mm spacers from my M40i. I think it is a nice flush fitting.

I have 15mm spacers all around with 265 / 295 tire setup. Love how it looks, aggressive but not obnoxious.
