Always use the copper Anti-seize for the spacers, it will make your life much easier when replacing or removing them and Jack stands when you’re doing work like this.
Came across this video randomly. Nice work man! I like how you linked everything in the description. Reminds me of stuff I've been wanting to buy but always forget. Biggest annoyance of this car is the wheel bolts so this is on the list for sure! Thanks man.
The 18s on the back is too much bro , I agree . I just had HR springs on the front and back : 30 mm / 10 mm which is perfect ! I’ve got 11 mm spacers all around and that’s enough for me . Also got the csl yellow head lights and Akra exhaust . Going to wrap the side grills ugly plastic into the same golden color of the brake calipers and I got a ac Schnitzer front lip . It’s really coming together !
Thank you a lot for these video. They are really helpful! My car is arriving in March and I saw alllllll your videos and I know exactly what I want because of you! Thank you so much !
I have the same G80 M3 Comp but with black interior. If you have Pirelli Tires instead of Michelin you need 10/12 instead of 12/15 because of a small lip on the Pirelli Tire that sticks out and will rub, especially if you lower the car. Love the channel brother. Great job.
I have the pirelli tires and placed the spacers 15 front 12 back but the front is rubbing ! Any solution to this ? What if i put 12 in the front and 15 on the back wheels ? I want to find a solution without shaving or cutting the fenders yet.
@Mark Tummillo i left the 15's front and 12's in the back like planned and used a heat gun to bend the upper 3 fenders in the front wheel area. Easy job never had a rub again and it looked mean ! Without lowering
Good shit bro keep up the work. You don't see people who have brand new bmw m3 who actually work on there own cars. I mean turn wrenches and sweating they ass off.
Great video Just picked up my m3 competition 2 months ago and enjoy all your g80 content I m not a great diy guy could do spacers but not talented enough to do springs Getting h and r sport springs with 11mm spacers throughout in few weeks
10's and 12's would be plenty enough, especially if you're gonna do lowering springs. Keep that PPF on the sides of your new grey baby as 500+ ponies will propel little stones thru that beautiful paint like butter with all that extra poke.
Yep. Once my steering issue gets fixed I can install the springs and test fit everything. I just PPF'd the entire front end and roof. Got to protect that paint.
@@WhatsyourFortethanks for detailed video, very helpful. I have just bought a G83 M4 Convertible and apparently it’s the same suspension setup. I have Bought 10mm Rear & 10mm Front. I wonder how they will literally no one has done this ? I just wanted a subtle wider stance still giving it the Oem look. I will send pics of before and after if you like ? Cheers Dude 😊
Congrats on the new G80. I have a 2022 Comp on order in Brooklyn Grey w the silver stone interior. I was debating over that orange too. Are you happy you went w that combo? Maybe I still have time to change since it hasn’t gone into production yet. 👏🏼
Did you use 75mm stud for both front and back? I read that 75 mm is good for up to 10 mm spacer. While 90 is recommended for up to 20 mm. What length do you recommend and should it be staggered?
is 15 in the front an issue? It looks it will be a little more flush. I have an 22 m3 x-drive on order i am going to order wheels and trying to sort out a goo width and offset. BC Forged
Thx for the vid my guy just have a question about studs. On keis site for this particular stud set it says up to 12mm spacer. However, you went with an 18mm spacer on rear. Is this what they recommend?
Nice one bro!... you knew from the beggining the 18" were the right ones or you tested different ones untill you decide?... I am thinking 12 front and back the 18 look a bit too much for me....
Hey you look like you're hitting the gym....go more high fibre.and low carbs...and you will trim.down in about 3 week...-20lbs at least. You'll thank me later. Loving the channel. You are going places!!
I'm 6'4" 260. Trying to loose some as we speak. Loving the car. I used to be a huge BMW fan then somehow they lost me. But this generation got back.my interest. Loving the car and the specs you chose. I am tuned in.
@@WhatsyourForte thanks a lot ! Im not sure if you can answer but.. I have a g82 m4 and wanted the ast spring but nobody can truly which spacers to get, some people tell me 12mm up front and 10mm back... others 10mm front and 12-15mm back. I truly love your build ! Keep on those great videos
I known a lot of people that run spacers and have had no issues. At least with the steel ones. I have head some bad things about the titanium ones tho.
@@WhatsyourForte Okay, if you say so. But it's enough to stop me from buying one. The aftermarket solutions look promising,vso I'm waiting to see how they look when people start installing the new nose.
@@Japplesnap I would not buy a car that I did not think looks good. So if you don’t like the looks don’t waste your money. I think the front fits the car in person
The f8X had the same slightly stretched look OEM. Beautiful car. I’m patiently waiting for the XDRIVE. I’ve been watching your videos. I’m stuck between BG and IOMG.
@@WhatsyourForte keep up the good work with the channel. You’re one of the only ppl posting quality content for the G8x community right now. Interior wise I’m thinking silver stone. Everyone is doing kayalami but I love the silver stone with the carbon buckets

Love all of the things you are doing to your M3! I enjoyed watching the floating wheel caps video and am learning a lot!
Thank you. You are welcome.
Looks fantastic - you bring true meaning to the phrase "sweat equity". What you can do yourself saves both time and money - Thanks.

Niceee… most of the working on cars is patience and having the right tools. Sometimes I don’t have either 😂
I had studs on my 340, I most definitely plan on installing them on my G80
Looks awesome, can't wait to see what more you do to the G80
Thanks
Screw the haters brother. Excellent job!
Thanks bro
Don't use red Loctite if you ever wanna remove the studs ( cross threat or damage) use blue which is just as good but you can remove the studs later
Too late now, 😂 but I don’t plan to remove them
It is summertime. You need your towel with you at all times. Lol!
I had it off camera 😂

Sup bro I did 15mm in the front and 12mm in the back on my G80. The front tires were sunked in to much and it looks perfect.
Yeah I have seen that and 15MM all around
Actually you will be fine with 18 in rear once the car lowered, that slight camber after lowered will prevent rubbing.
Ahhh true. We shall see once I get lowered.
12/15 Perfect.
Great car, great video, thank you!
Thanks, you’re welcome
Thanks for this.
No problem

Thank you
Looks good Bro!

Great install!
Thanks!
Great video and info!!!!!!!

I used 75 for both but I am also running stock wheels. I think as long as your setup is not too aggressive you should be ok
Keep an eye on your wheel nuts they tend to undo themselves
Will do thanks.
Looking good man. Wondering if you got that launch control sorted out?
Thanks. I ran over a nail so I can launch in these tires until my new one comes in.
Have you gotten wheel hops before
No
Stupid question. Do you have to get wheel alignment after putting spacers?
No
Looks good bro, now you just need a little drop.
Springs should be here this week!!!
is 15 in the front an issue? It looks it will be a little more flush. I have an 22 m3 x-drive on order i am going to order wheels and trying to sort out a goo width and offset. BC Forged
I know people that have ran it with no issue if you have the Michelin tires. I have heard the other tires rub with 15s in the front
Everytime he says I'll be linking these down below take a shot.
They are linked down below. They are in the video description.

Nice ..😎👍🚗
Thanks
Have you noticed any difference in handling/steering? I've heard throwing spacers on can do that sometimes
It actually feels better. I will say I have not pushed it very hard yet.
Man needs adapters for his Jack. He should have just lifted back end with one arm.
Do you have any?
7:37 Duuude! Never put your leg underneath the car!
Yeah I know
I heard 10s and 12s is the best setup
Just depends on taste really.
pros and cons for the lug studs?
Pros: makes installing wheels easier, cons, discount tire will not touch your car.
How have they held up? I'm about to buy a set. Thanks!
I had no issues. Had them on the car for 15 months
@@WhatsyourForte Awesome thank you!
No locking nut? Wouldn’t it be easy to get you’re wheels stolen?
My car is garaged and I am not worried about someone taking them when I get groceries 😂
@@WhatsyourForte 😂
Hey brother ! Is there any rubbing in the fenders when you hit a bump and does it rub up front when full steer?
Not on stock height. After I lowered the car I rubbed a little in the front and had to switch to 10mm
@@WhatsyourForte thanks a lot ! Im not sure if you can answer but.. I have a g82 m4 and wanted the ast spring but nobody can truly which spacers to get, some people tell me 12mm up front and 10mm back... others 10mm front and 12-15mm back. I truly love your build ! Keep on those great videos
@@uncleben6959 15 in the rear is perfect. You can try 12 but I rubbed a little
Mine rubs over bumps at the back fenders with passengers in car
12 front and 15 rears on stock suspension thinking of changing rears to 12s
You don’t run any locking lugs?
I have some on order
Just came to mind, do the new lugs came with wheel locks?
No they do not. I believe you can option them when you build the kit.
@@WhatsyourForte it came with wheel locks, but if I get spacers aren’t they going to be too short to fit?
@@WhatsyourForte meaning my oem wheel locks won’t fit anymore…do the spacers come with longer wheel locks?
So with the 12/15 there should be no rubbing issues right?
Not on stock suspension
Hi I did 12 front and 15 rear , stock suspension , with 2 people in the back the car rubs over bumps . Prob change rear to 12mm
do you rent a garage for your car?
My residence has one included
Anyone do 13F/13R from BMS? How do they fit and look lowered? I have KW that'll be going on next week.
You should be ok if you don’t go too low
Did you have any problems with rubbing with the 12 mm’s in the front after lowering the car?
It did rub in full lock in reverse
Hey are you interested in asking your 2 rear rims snd tires ?
Sale
They will not fit on the front if you are lowered. I tired already
Is this 100%safe
I known a lot of people that run spacers and have had no issues. At least with the steel ones. I have head some bad things about the titanium ones tho.
Are you getting a new front bumper cover and grill? That's the video I want to see.
Why would I do that?
@@WhatsyourForte To fix the front end. There are solutions available.
