2016 R60 All4 S.
Stock suspension/height.
Purchased some new Mini 17" rims for winter.
Purchased some ECS wheels spacers also. 12mm front, 15mm rear.
Purchased 4 Pirelli SottoZero II 205/55/17 Run flats through discount tire.

Im set to have them mount/balance and install my winter wheels today. I have heard differing reports re: Discount Tire refusing to install wheel spacers? Anyone have any experience here? The only reason I am not doing it all myself is the lack of tools (Jack, stands, tork wrench etc...)

Thanks all!

 

Correct, I use Discount Tire myself and have wheel spacers, and they wont touch them. Which quite frankly is fine by me. I like to know my wheels are mounted correctly, and with the wheel bolts and spacers (especially if not hub centric) it's quite easy to not get the wheels installed perfectly center. Though it is kind of a PITA if you don't have the equipment to do it yourself, or if you just have a screw in the tire like I did last week and had to pull a wheel and drive it to the shop in another rig to get fixed. Ended up being about a 2.5 hour thing (I live out of town, so Im about 30-45 min from my nearest Discount Tire) instead of just pulling in and having it done in 20 minutes.

 

Maybe you need to get to know the manager on a first name basis.

Buy tires from him and send him your friends to buy tires from him.

Then, maybe he will do the work himself, knowing its done correctly over looking
the wheel spacer policy

Just a thought . . . . . . .

 

Thanks for the order, it's easy to install them. You might have to find another place to have them installed. If you do them yourself, here is the DIY.
