Rear wheel spacers (15mm) hitting brake calipers??

[Kcdrobena]

Hey, guys. I recently bought two sets of spacers (20mm for up front and 15mm for the rear). I installed the front without an issue, however when I got to the back, I couldn’t get my wheel to turn once the spacer and lugs were attached. I’m wondering if this is normal, and if there is a way around it. I put back my stock lugs and took the rear spacers on both sides and the car drives like normal. Super bummed to have them not working out. Any help would be appreciated!

Get wheel studs, looks better, problem solved.

I thought studs just change the bolt pattern... I’m honestly just looking for some poke. My 20mm in the front are honestly to small for the look I want :P

Are the tire rubbing the fender with spacers installed?

It’s at a stock ride height I’m pretty sure and even if I had spacers twice the size it wouldn’t rub. Like in the front I probably have a 1in. gap and in the back at least a 2-3 in. gap in the front . I do definitely want some coil overs in the future, so eventually I’ll have to work around that .

This will solve all your problems. You are welcome. Now you say the 20mm in front is not enough? Got a pic? I was thinking about running 15mm front 10mm rear... Maybe I need more, What rims tires are you running?

Is it possible you put the long bolts for 20 on the rear and the short 15 in the front? thus the interference and non rotation? Just a thought.

My thought as well.

I’ll look into that...
good idea!

It is possible that due to the contour of the barrel of the wheel, spacers caused caliper contact. I am guessing these are 15” wheels? You might be able to grind down the caliper. I did that so I could run 15” drag radials on my 99M3 years ago. 16” wheels fit no problem with the M3 rear brakes.
