Anyone running spacers without lowering springs? My car is a lease so I’m just looking for a slightly more aggressive/flush fitment without the added cost of springs.

I know 13mm / 15mm is a popular spacer setup but I’m worried that will exaggerate the wheel arch gap too much on the factory ride height. Was thinking about trying 7mm all around.

If it helps I’m on M adaptive suspension with staggered 791s.

Won’t exaggerate. Don’t need to lower to run spacers. A majority of people on here probably run spacers without springs. Including me. Go for it.

Thanks. Can you share pics of your setup?

I have 12mm all around. It’s almost flush. Could have gone with the 15mm. I have a square set up.

Thanks! Can you share a photo looking at the side profile of the car as well? I'm trying to see how the fender gap looks with spacers compared to stock.

Thanks this looks great! I think I’ll try 12mm as well.

I have squared set with 235/40/19’s PSAS tires. I did 12mm up front and 10mm in the back. Sits fairly flush at stock height with M adaptive suspension.
