2013 MINI --spacers??

Just ordered a 2013MINI S--w-- JWC tune--my question is--should I put spacers (10mm--13mm) on the wheels (Infinite Stream wheels) for a slightley broader stance---and will they add viberation --not a hard driver, but would like my toy to be awsome

As long as you use hubcentric spacers with the proper lengthen conical bolts, you should not have any vibration issues.

I put 12mm spacers on my JCW Coupe with factory Challenge spoke wheels and have had no problems.

I've been running H&R 15mm spacers provided by fastmini.net for almost 2 years without any problems. You will be fine. They offer a really nice stance.

OutMotoring sells spacer and lug kits in silver and black to match which ever wheel color you have.

Fastmini.net also sells the spacers as a kit including the extended lugs. They are great people to work with too.
