Spaced Out

So this morning I installed some BMS spacers. Nothing crazy.. 10mm in the front, 15mm in the back. Was really happy with the new stance. About 20 mins of installing, had to take the car out for a drive. I pulled up a little close on a curb & you can guess what happened... nailed the curb. Got a gnarly rash now on my back right wheel. First curb rash in over 20+ yrs of driving!

Did the new spacers throw me off... lol. Incredible!

Sorry to hear/see that. It should be easily fixed.

Ugh! I'd be mad at myself! Definitely you...not the spacers! I highly recommend you buy these ASAP!

It is not bad, you can sand it and fill it with maybe metal filler.

You're probably right; a profile of 75+ looks accurate on that pic. 😂

Agreed. Honestly where the rash is.. it's sort of hard to see. Up
close, looks like something was hungry and took a healthy bite.

I've seen guys with similar curb rashes if not worse but after getting repaired looks practically brand new!
