Hi Guys
Wonder if installation of wheel spacers can be a DIY job at home? Or do the wheels/tires have to be balanced/adjusted by a machine at a tire shop after spacers are put in? Im thinking of putting in 10mm spacers in the rear, I hv stock style 122 wheels with 17" dunlop runflats.
Thanks

I've put in H&R spacers on my previous M3 -- took about 1 hour.
No need to do a wheel balance, or otherwise adjust the alignment.

Bunbun,
Have you mounted those spacers yet? Don't forget the pics.
What brand are you using?

I have 17" dunlop run flats with 128's and I's interested in what this looks like after you finish. Please post pics.
One question. Will this affect the ride or handling at all?
