I've been thinking of getting spacers but changed my mind. My main concern is rock chips.
I have clearbra on my rocker panels all the way back to behind the rear tires. However the coverage is designed for stock setup. It might need to go higher if the wheels extend out further. I've been reading the M3 forums and it seems this is a real issue for them. For us it could be worse because our tires are stickier. Many of the M3 guys with spacers have extended clearbra coverage. Niko1414 has already reported a rock chip issue, and he has stock offsets. Here's a quote from an M3 owner. Quote:

+1, I have had the H&Rs on for 3k miles and I have had very little problems with rock chips.(no clear bra) My car is flawless, One on my back trunk, 2 on the front bumper, and none on the sideskirts, all I've fixed.(And I drive the hell out of her) The stance is still perfect for me and very aggressive even without spacers. For now I don't think its worth it. |

I have had the drop with spacers now for a few weeks. No chips or scratches to report. Be mindful of where you are driving and never tailgate and you should be fine. Additionally, small scrapes and scratches are part of owning a car. Keep Dr. colorchip at the ready and all will be good in the universe.
