Your car matches the colour of your dog..... how cute is that lol. U should take a pic of the dog "driving" the car with his/her paws on the wheel

Thanks! I'm putting on a 12mm spacer tonight (going to try this first but also have a 10mm if it doesn't fit so we'll see) and then a proper photoshoot probably in Malibu tomorrow.

Mod list so far:
BBS LM-R in Diamond Black - Front: 19 x 8.5 ET32, Rear: 19 x 9.5 ET35
12mm Rear Spacers
Rogue Engineering El Diablo Exhaust
Stubby Antenna
Sirius Satellite Radio
DICE iPod Integration

Future:
Hüper Optik Window Tint
Painted Reflectors
Stiffer Rear Sway Bar

If I were you, I'd probably not bother putting on the wheel spacers if the wheels clear just fine and you're only doing it for aesthetic reasons. What it does is basically adding more unsprung weight, reducing the acceleration, hurting the handling & making the car less nimble, getting worse gas mileage, and putting more strain on the wheel bearings.

The LM-R's aren't exactly light-weight wheels to begin with, and adding more unnecessary unsprung weight just doesn't seem like a good idea.

Yeah I've heard the argument both ways. I already have some my friend had lying around so I can always just try them and then take them off. The LM-Rs aren't light but definitely not too bad for 19's. 23.5lbs each.
edit: also just checked out the spacers and they're really light. they're specifically made for the car (only fit some model BMWs as opposed to universal fit) so they should be fine.

Alright got a 10mm spacer put on this weekend. I'm going to try a 12mm too but the one my friend had didn't fit just right so he's going to get another one. Here are some pics with the 10mm. What do you guys think?

looks good

Looks good. And even with the 12mm you should be safe from any rubbing. Now I would like you to stop posting pictures of your LM-R's; every time I see them on the M coupe I want them
