Wheel spacers

351clevormustang · 02-11-2014, 06:57 AM

I have a new set of 18 9.5 rear wheels for my E90. Rears need to come out some. I read threads that are either 10mm or 12mm spacers are needed. I like the flush look. Offset of the rear rims are 45mm.

What spacers are you running with 45mm rim 18 9.5 10 or 12? What quality brand spacers do you like? i.e. burger?

Thank you for your advise.

I would go with a 12mm or even a 15mm. Shoot me a PM for details. I can also hook you up with some spacers.

Check your gap, and get the right spacers for your setup. There are tons of quality spacers out there as well. Check the vendor classifieds.

I'm curious to hear opinions about the differences in quality as well. The spacers on Ebay are 1/2 the price of branded ones and I wonder if the extra cost is really worth it.

From personal experience, do not skimp on spacer quality or price. I wanted some cheap 15mm spacers for my old G37 last year so I decided to buy some off amazon for $45 shipped. They showed up looking good and installed without any problems. About a week or two later i kept feeling a vibration so I took off the wheels and both of the hubcentric parts were cracked in half.

So stick to name brands

We also have a machine shop so we can custom mill spacers for you guys too!
