Summer Ready: Wheel Swap and Fender Liner Fixes - BMW G87 M2

In this video, I swap out the winter wheels for Edelweiss wheels on my G87 M2. I discuss the previous issues faced with wheel rubbing, particularly when using spacers and reversing, and my solutions to mitigate the problem, including cutting off parts of the fender liner. I also cover my cleaning process using Adams Waterless Wash and plans for a more thorough cleaning with dry ice. Additionally, I test the setup in a parking lot to ensure there's no rubbing. Finally, I reflect on the performance improvement with the Edelweiss wheels and share my enthusiasm for upcoming modifications and parts for the car.

Why use spacers with the aftermarket wheels? Just spec them correctly in the first place.

[@thedevthing]

The wheels come TUV certified and without spacers it looks amazing already. It does not need it. I am just experimenting. 🙌😃

[@mikemellon80]

I keep thinking about this same thing. I dont get spacers. just entering this wheel space and learning but why not just get the offset on the wheel to avoid the spacers?

[@thedevthing]

@@mikemellon80 the wheels are great fitment without spacers already. I was curious to see if I can run more aggressive. This summer, I won't be running spacers. Removing it this weekend most likely.

Having a similar issue on my m4 when backing out the driveway, also it would be nice to see you in some BMW / M Performance merch when working on the M2 😅

[@thedevthing]

😂😂 I had to make sure the Porsche 911 got some love in the videos 😂 it might be feeling left out since it have been making G87 M2 videos 😃

How are the new brake pads long term? You never made the update video. How's the brake dust?

[@thedevthing]

I will do a video on this soon. 🙌😃
The EBC reds reduce dust significantly by very the stock pads. But there is still dust when driven hard.
I believe there are pads that eliminate dust even more and I will have to try those.
EBC reds are a good compromise of reduced dust and braking power. It’s not a setup I would go on track with. But for the streets and back road cruising, it’s just right.
I don’t have to wipe down the wheels after every drive as I had to with the stock pads 😂

[@RTom-kj8jt]

When you install 3mm and 5mm spacers do you keep the stock bolts?

[@thedevthing]

I kept the stock bolts. Anything more than 5mm I would use longer bolts 😃🙌

[@ChrisDavis333]

Can you tell me the wheel and tire setup that you switched to? What are those wheels? 20x10? What tires do you use?

The wheels look good 👍. Car looks ugly.
