Just got the spacers on. 13mm front, 15mm rear.

Looks good, thanks for sharing.

So much better. Just need some wider tires, now.

 

Ryan. What is your thoughts on spacers on stock wheels and shocks. With a 15mm rear and 12mm front sort of thing.
I know you are on different springs and shocks but do you use spacers?
How much heavier is the steering and how different is the toss-ability?
I find with the F56 that they have increased the size of the body but by keeping the same diameter wheels as the R56 they just look too small on the F56. Spacers seem to help that visual issue somewhat.

 

I'm running 12mm front and 16mm rear spacers with longer wheel bolts (from Outmotoring). There's a bit more scrub radius of course but the steering effort change is so little that I'm not sure I could call it on a blind A-B comparison.

The earlier 2 gens of MINI's were affected more by wheel spacers, on the F56 it appears to make no notable impact on ride or handling. For sure it makes the car look better, so without a doubt, do it.

 

Thanks Mate! I'm told the car is on the truck...should pick it up next week so in making up for lost time!

 

One more question Ryan. What brand of spacers did you use? WWM only has 5mm and 15mm.

 

hey Ryan, Your thoughts please on a square set up, 15mm fr and back which is what I'm planning on. Thanks.

 

Outmotoring, which I have a hunch are from Otis.

It would probably work, it's just that the rear tires are tucked in more than the front, so a staggered offset ends up looking more balanced.

 

Looks great flush!
