Spacers for 550 xdrive

jackass · 03-23-2014, 08:20 AM

Hi Guys, I have a 2013 550 m-sport xdrive with stock suspension and stock wheels 19" 245. I was thinking of installing 10mm spacer in the front and 15mm in the rear, what do you think? Will this setup affect the xdrive system?

no impact on the x-drive system. Others have done a similar setup and you can measure yourself to confirm using a straightedge from the wheel/tire to the lip of the fender.

How far in or out won't really affect the x-drive system. What will mess up your diff is when your front and rear tires are different heights. Adding spacers shouldn't be an issue.

Won't affect your xdrive, but if you're lowered I'd recommend 12mm front and 18mm rear. Much more flush.
