15mm Aspira Spacers will clear M3P Uberturbines.
Both of these cars are lowered and using 15mm Aspira Spacers all around.
Wheels can be the same spec but the hub pocket clearance aren't equal.

Lol. I guess you can’t dispute photo evidence! Car looks great. Guess I should have stuck with my ubers!

That's some tight clearances, lol. Good info, though, and I suppose I could measure my Uber wheel pockets before ordering 15mm's if/when the time comes (my 18mm look great now with 235's, but prob will look more poke-y when I get 245's). Not saying the info is wrong, but you never know if that wheel pocket was cut out exactly the same as the test wheel that was measured, especially when we are talking about a 0.5mm gap.
Yes I also believe there may be some variances in stud length that I have read about. Based on Danny’s post there’s a good chance they will fit.
Someone really needs to figure out a way to engineer around this. Plenty of people here looking for a plug and play solution.

It's simple, you press out these studs and press new ones in. It's pretty easy with an arbor press, but pretty time consuming to take every hub off.
Not simple for someone like me who can barely change a tire.

ha ha that's fair! I think anyone could handle it if you had the correct tools. It's just time consuming and intimidating.
*WARNING* 15MM TO REAR WITH UBERS!
Fitted 15mm to rear and 5mm to the front 2 weeks ago on my 21 m3p with ubers. Had issues with the 15mm on the rear, one side fit fine to the eye however the other side the factory studs made contact with the wheel and caused a gap between the wheel and spacer.
we swapped the wheels around and found that the pockets in the ubers wernt all a consistent depth.
even the side which fit ok by eye, when we removed the wheel there were witness marks where the factory studs made contact.
ended up having the shave about 2mm off the end of the studs on one side of the car on the rear to get them to fit
15mm however fit perfectly flush to the wheel arch in my opinion with the car being lowered roughly 30mm on h&r springs which is why i simply didnt just go for a wider spacer.
In my opinion its worth going for 15mm on the rear with factory ubers but be prepared to make modifications to your stock studs if need be.
Spacers used are 15mm bonoss, happy with the quality of them, they bolted on perfectly and measured at exactly 15mm using our gauge

I'll have to take a peek at that next time I have the wheels off. I did have my 15mm on the front at first, then moved them to the rear and didn't notice any witness marks, but I wasn't specifically looking for that.
I do have high speed runs and a decent amount of miles with these spacers on without any vibration, so I'm guessing if they contacted, they probably deformed the soft aluminum wheels and self clearanced.
To each their own but why not go 20mm? The difference is negligible. Up front is a different story of course.

I'm butting in, but I believe Ren means they slipped off of the hub while putting the wheel back on, and then when he torqued down the wheels, the spacers bent and cracked.
How did they slip off?
gotcha. Did they have the lip machined for the M3P?
