H&R spacers 20/25mm

daytonaviolet · 05-28-2022, 09:25 PM

Updated my h&r spacers from 15/20mm to 20/25mm and really like the outcome. Change is very minimal but noticeable. Also want to thank Ben from RGSport for the quick advice and service.

Nice, I went the same route and have a similar look. I love it, looking great!

Looks amazing! What do the X6M folks with 21 wheels use? Anyone?

Absolutely Perfect. Edge of tires are flush with the edge of the flares.

I'm using 20mm all around but I think 20mm rear and 15mm front would be a better fit for OEM tires. I am, however, using slightly larger aspect ratio tires. 285/45/21 and 325/ 40/21. It took some acrobatics (used a grinder on the upper control arm to shave a few mm off and a heat gun to remold the fender liner) to make the front tires fit.

Thank you, Islandman. I have OEM wheels fitted with OEM spec'd tires. Could you please post some pics?

I just wanted to use oem wheels and tires sizes and have a bit more poke. I ran the 15/20mm setup for a while before going 20/25mm. Modifying liners is something i didn't want to do.

Looks great. I’m sitting at a shop as I type waiting to get 15/15 spacers on. I’m getting some wider tires on the OEM rear wheels later this week so I hope the 15mm spacer plus wider tire doesn’t poke beyond the fender flares.

Edited to add: I guess the spacers come with multiple lengths of bolts as the spacerless boxes still feel heavy after the install. With the 15mm spacers out back and stock suspension, the OEM wheel/ tire set up is flush with the fenders. I may have to lose the rear spacers to put on 325/30/21 Pilot Sport Cup 2’s as they run as wide as 355/25/21 MPS4’s apparently.

Anybody got a pair of 5mm spacers made for the 2018 gen X6M/ X5M to trade for a pair of 15mm spacers?

Edited to add: the tires came in. Think these pilot sport cup 2’s might poke just a bit with the 15mm spacers.

Nice! Any pictures? What type of spacers are yours - H&R? I also have stock suspension and wheels/tires on my X6m and looking into spacers.

daytonaviolet did you end up needing the kmac camber kit or have to change bump stops on all four corners to run the V3s that low?

I'm at 29.5" on each corner. I haven't done those yet. Have you ?

Could you post a shot of your whole vehicle from the side? I’m curious what that much tire looks like in the wheel well.

I have yet to lower the car but wanted to get the adjustable camber plates if needed. Your alignment and everything is in spec at 29.5? It looks great

No it's not all within spec. If I remember correctly my camber is too negative. But one day I plan to get the following. It should give us more camber and toe adjustments.

KMAC Front Adjustable Bushings (193816-5J) and the SPC Rear Adjustable Upper Control Arms (72115)
