M Coupe Spacers Sizing

[cosmos675]

Before I get told to search... I did a fair amount of research and couldn't come up with a clear cut answer. I have a 99' Coupe with OE suspension, for the time being I would like to get some spacers to push the Roadstars out flush to the fenders.

I believe I need a 20mm rear and a 12 mm front? Before I pull the trigger can someone verify? Possibly post photos of before/after with the correct setup.

Thanks in advance.

It can vary, what works for me may not work the same for you. Best bet is to go out and actually measure it

Agreed... car is up on stands right now, trying not to take it down then measure then put it right back up for work im doing. Also trying to get spacers by Friday.

I run 18 in the rear and 5 in the front and it looks pretty good. I never measured for the roadstars, I just transferred them from my Work wheels and it worked out. There is probably a little room to go further as you state. I never really took a pic to show spacing but this is the only pic I have with this set up.

Stock tire sizes I'm assuming?

Looks great!

FWIW I ran 15 rear / 12.5 front then later 17.5 rear / 15 fronts and they both looked good. The 15 in the front rubbed a bit for me though on a lowered suspension without camber adjustments.

Nice... Thanks guys. I just ordered 12mm Front/20mm Rear. I will post before/after photos once I get them installed.

Which brand(s) did you go with? Something from the list?

[cosmos675]

Went with Motorsport Hardware for 82mm studs & spacers front/rear.

This can vary and it depends on Tire size plus how personal preference. Some people like the tire to poke out more than others but here goes.

Front: 5 - 12.5mm

Rear 12.5 - 20mm

Anything in those ranges can work. Also, some don't even bother with spacers in the front since the rear is what looks worst without the spacers.
