I was just about ready to order Bridgestone Blizzaks for my M3 when Mario at TireRack told me that I needed a spacer for the back tires...so the wheels don't sit too close to the brakes. Now, since I'm going to install these tires myself, does anybody know if I'm in for a nightmare or is it a simple thing to change? Thanks!
Snow, Tires and a spacer?

TireRack does not sell the spacers? I had a similar issue when I had my Jetta and I upgraded it to my 17" rims. I had to get spacers and special lug nuts, which costed me $60 at a tuning shop. I don't know how it works to use them because the tuning shop sold me the parts and then slapped the new wheels on for me. I can't imagine it being anything you can't handle, though. Just make sure you can get your hands on those spacers pretty easily.
