I'm going to need a fender pull soon too. Turns out 10mm is no good for our cars.

I'm running 10mm all the way around. I had to on the rear cuz my roll and pull was max'd out and it ended up landing perfectly on the lip of the wheel. Once I put the 10mm spacers there it solved that problem. Rubs the tire on crazy dips but I can sooo live with that over ruining the lip

That is one cool looking car! Most importantly, it still looks like a BMW.

What spacers do you have? I have used Turner Motorsport ones I got off another member here. I guess it's the wheels. The extra step in the spacer is causing the wheel not to sit properly. When I put the 15mm spacers on, it was fine. But with the 10mm spacer, both wheels wobble like crazy. Hopefully the 12mm spacers won't rub too badly. Otherwise, I might try new set of 10mm spacers or from another brand

Here is the 10mm spacer

Im using Ichiba spacers for the moment. I purchased a set of TMS spacers a while back and one of the techs at Sonic MS briefly mentioned to me the exact issues you are having. I found it hard to believe what he was claiming but he was very adamant that he's had previous issues with TMS spacers before with some other customers. This was about a year ago and I was kinda new to the spacer game since I never used any so I had to take his word for it. I ended up returning them and just went without the spacer. Those were in fact 10mm spacers as well. I never really researched too much in depth about that issue, but maybe other folks with 10mm TMS spacers can chime in. Other than this specific issue regarding that lip or whatever I've heard nothing but positive feedback about them.

But yea, so far the ichiba spacers have been on the car about 3 weeks and I've had no issues at high and low speeds.

Yea. Ant is a cool cat. I didn't even know he was a NorCal photographer for Canibeat until he was done doin all the fender work and said he wanted to do a photoshoot of the car. I was like sure why not. LOL


Nah, not really active in shows, but I might pop in one every now and then. One of my buddy's has been urging me to show with them, but they are all G35's and other JDM cars. Don't wanna stick out like a sore thumb too much. I may show at the cherry blossom festival tho in Japan-town S.F.. (might as well do it to get good parking )
