Spacers for stock wheels 2013 MCS

So I'm running stock 17x7" wheels on my 2013 (challenge in winter and sandblast in summer), I'm wondering the best way to measure for spacers. My intentions are to just keep stock height, probably go with IE fixed camber plates in the summer, I was happy with -2.0 camber front and rear on the old car. No plans for coil overs or dropping significantly. Daily driver.

Both sets are 17x7 et 48

Searching shows most people run 15mm or so, but I don't know the best way to confirm. No rush, just thinking of little things while the snow is coming down.


Have fun,
Mike

Mike-
I ran 15mm spacers on my dropped 2009 Clubman S (coilovers) and now I'm running the same 15mm spacers on my stock ride height 2009 Clubman JCW. With stock wheels - conical spokes - 48mm ET. JCW: IE fixed with -2 front and rear.

That is just what I was looking for, thanks Bugeye. The tape measure and straightedge told me that 15mm seems about right.

Have fun,
mike

Yes 15mm is the most popular and sounds like it will fit. Keep in mind that the brand of tire can effect it too as they are not always what the size says.

We keep our awesome 15mm spacers in stock if you need em.

Forgot to mention the tires.....

Continental DW 215/45-17
Firestone Indy 500 215/45-17

They both fit both cars with the 15mm spacers without rubbing.
