15mm Rear Spacers & 8500k GP Thunders Installed: Pics

Order some Rogue Engineering 15mm Spacers for the rear and finally installed them. Definitely worth it!! Makes the whole car flow alot better. Wheels are now pretty flush and straight with the fender/body Heres some pics.

Next mod... H&R Sport Springs. Hopefully ill get these on in the next couple of weeks.

Before

After (15mm Rear Spacers)

well i bought that $1000 InTire insurance when i bought the car, so that would be a waste if i bought new rims and tires...right? Unless it transfers over...but im pretty sure it wouldnt. So i guess my next mods will be H&R sport springs and then save up for ProCede

Nice choice. 15s are perfect. I also have them. I'd recommed checking them in about 500 miles...just torque down the lugs again for safety. Other than that you're good to go.

The spacers look good on the stock wheels, especially if you plan to lower the car.

well it covers rims and tires. So i can go outside and drive my car over nails and bend my rims and then call the dealership and they will replace everything for free!!...not exactly free since i paid $1k for it but, i guess if i damage more than 1 rim and 1 tire, then it will be worth it

Intire actually covers any wheel or tire that is on the car. It doesn't need to be the oem wheels and tires. At least this was what I was told when I bought it and its what we told people when I was working in service at a BMW dealership.

Thats what they told me. I worked in Service at a BMW dealership until May and thats what we told our customers. Whenever we would do an InTire claim they would just ask what kind of tire needs to be replaced. They never ask anything about if its the tire that came with the car.

Car Looks Sharp.

How do you order them exactly? Simply specify 15mm and hope it fits an E92?. I checked the site and found the spacr, but not specifics on car etc.

Did you put on the longer lug bolts? Is this a DIY or does it need to be done professionally?


Thanks for any info

here is the link to order them from their website.
http://www.rogueengineering.com/Merc...t_Code=WSPACER

Just scroll to the bottom and select which size spacer you want and click "Add to basket". Also, All Rogue Engineering spacers come with extended lug bolts, so the price includes them.

This is DEFINITELY a DIY!!! easy as taking the wheel off, spacer on, wheel back on, torque the bolts, done! Keep checking the bolts to make sure they are tight every once and awhile.
