This is all relative to the wheel you are using so there is no blanket answer. Let us know which oem wheel and we'll let you know about clearance issues.Has anyone reported lug interference issues with 18mm spacers?

I am all set with my own spacers, but this question was specific to Performance models (with factory rotors) and Uberturbines.This is all relative to the wheel you are using so there is no blanket answer. Let us know which oem wheel and we'll let you know about clearance issues.
18mm should clear the studs but may not clear the front fenders.I am all set with my own spacers, but this question was specific to Performance models (with factory rotors) and Uberturbines.
My understanding was also that 18mm would clear the studs on Ubers, given most had measured 2mm of interference with 15mm spacers. I searched “18mm” and didn’t find anything but a single anecdote of someone saying 18mm wouldn’t fit, but no actual reports of interference.18mm should clear the studs but may not clear the front fenders.
ah yes reading this mine will be stock camber and height so might look way different on 14mm slip ons than the pics earlier in the thread.My understanding was also that 18mm would clear the studs on Ubers, given most had measured 2mm of interference with 15mm spacers.

But yeah, 18mm wouldn’t likely clear the front fenders without ~1.7 degrees of camber or so. I am running 2 degrees up front with 255/35R20 and have room for 20mm spacers up front (which I am about to install, in the form of 15mm studded spacers with aftermarket rotors totaling around 19mm from stock).
14mm slip ons will require longer bolts on an M3P.I just trawled back and found these 14 mm slip ons..... the set up looks great..... anyone have any experience good or bad with them before I see if they'll ship to the uk!?
They're for a still on the boat from Shanghai M3P, stock suspension and Ubers obviously.
Cheers in advance
Several of us are using extended-shank lug nuts with good results!14mm slip ons will require longer bolts on an M3P.
Click the link. Those come with special lug nuts that pass through the spacer, to make sure tread engagement is adequate.14mm slip ons will require longer bolts on an M3P.
They are not. OEM only.Does anyone know if the H&R extended lug nuts are compatible with Titan-7 wheels?
in theory 5mm of trimming is the max amount. The Silver caliper cars have 27mm of thread engagement, the P3D red calipers have 32mm. So there's your tolerance.Asked this before but never got an answer. Does anyone know of trimming the OEM lugs by a few mm to get spacers to clear will make them too short going back to stock? I’d like to get 20mm back on but if it’s going to compromise the car in stock form it’s not worth it.

I think you will damage your fenders with 30mm rear spacers. Your front fitment is factory weak but if you're on stock suspension I'm not sure what the issue is. If you space them out more the car will just look more lifted. It will exaggerate the gap above the tire.Couldn’t edit my post, but I just saw a pair of 30mm Spacers, so I’d ideally like to go with that on my rear 19x9.5 +35 offset wheels.
Please confirm this is with OEM Performance model 3 rotors. Many don't realize the difference in thread engagement based what rotors are used. I know you do but figure it would be great to reiterate this with your new findings.FWIW, I just verified that my 8mm spacers still allow ~>9 turns on my aftermarket lug nuts with factory wheels. For 14x1.5mm threads, 9.33 turns is required to achieve maximum possible clamping force without the threads themselves being the limiting factor. I am truly not worried.
If I had to hypothesize without doing the actual math, we probably achieve the required clamping force (from 129ft-lb of torque) with perhaps 6-7 turns without damaging the threads. However, the threads would fail (or deform) before the lugs themselves if failure was going to happen.
Yes, you are right, and have my apologies! This is with factory 2022 M3P rotors.Please confirm this is with OEM Performance model 3 rotors.
