Wheel Spacers

I think all of the z's I have seen lowered (conservatively)
look much better, and the spacers just add that lovely full wheel arch look, all in all an excellent addition and more fitting for the z's sporty lines..
looking really good t-tony, I may get online and order some!
anyone have any speed hump issues?

I have issues with my factory sport suspension on this type of speed bump if approached at anything other than a crawl. Usually create a tailback on the road near where I live, as everyone else seems to be able to straddle them at double the speed limit!
If you have ever used the Chunnel (The Chanel Tunnel) as I have a couple of times, on the Calais side, the French are/were taking the p***. When boarding the train you are/were split into three different queues, high vehicles, normal vehicles and lowered vehicles.
I had to dive over 'steel pyramids' sticking out of the road surface in my lowered Merc and hit absolutely every thing under the car while doing so with a bloke watching me while I did it.
When I had finished the obstacle course, he sauntered over and stuck a sticker on my windscreen stating 'LOW'..........

Too all who were intrested, I have just change my rear tyres and the wear is pretty even.
I'm currently running 20mm spacers on the rear. Lee

Interesting picture Lee, I have been told that as standard the ///Ms do not have as much camber as non ///Ms, the camber issue must have been taken care of along with the many other little tweaks the ///Ms have.
did u find out why the wear
sorry read the rest of the posts lol
cant afford tyre wear run flats to much think il give it a miss

You should be able to adjust to the rear camber on a Z4, so that they are as per factory when lowered, you will not get any wear then
Shirl's Eos came on run flats so changed them as they wore out.

i agree with all u say about run flats but when im in the mood and tend to get carried away and you have the need for speed then im glad i got them on.
when they start to go a little i think il go normal then i say na run flats ftw lol

Early this year i lowered My QP for 30mm by H&R springs, using 20mm spacers per side on the rear. Replaced the original suspension and mounted "Bielstein B8". Later this year i changed the springs again and took "Eibach ProKit", also 30mm lowered. Then the problem began, because the tyres were scratched, the car felt very soft and too comfortably for a sportscar. I changed the springs, using H&R again! Changed also spacers, using now 15 mm per side. Now everything is as i wished it should be.........!

Had a look at putting spacers on the rear yesterday , done the plumb up from tyre and it's in line with my inner arch ! But if I look at rear of car looks like I could be doing with them , is it possible to put 15 mm on so tyres are in line with outer arch ? Help Please I'm a golfer ! !
