What spacers are people running. My 5mm from my BMW E36 fit, but the diameter is a little small.

I will be running Apex SM-10 18x10.5 with Toyo R888R at MSR Houston 6/3.
Hontestly, I'm not sure of the brand. I get them from my shop. If you search M14x1.5 conical seat, you can find plenty of options online. I'm running a H&R 5mm spacers that are also for an e36, they work great.

Yeah, I would like to just do e85 with a tune, but am trying to keep the car fully under waranty for now. Maybe down the road...

Here's my Mom doing her first-ever track weekend. She got to check this off her bucket list.
Your car/wheels look awesome! Very cool re: your Mom doing a DE. I'll bet she was blown away.

Seems a little much to be pulling tires off wheels and swapping them around.
Agreed, which is why I'm cool with a small front spacer to be able to run a true square setup.

That being said, lots of cars from the factory have run square tires on staggered wheels: 2018 Mustang GT PP2, 5th Gen Z28 to name a few. Running a square tire on staggered wheels still affords a wider rear track even though the tires are ths same size: meaning a 305 on a 11.0 wheel will measure wider than a 305 on a 10.5 wheel. It can be a good middle ground in looking for a bit more rear traction but not wanting to risk inducing additional understeer with a 325 rear.
