Looking for a reputable, quality wheel/tire/mod shop that can install my 12mm and 15mm Burger wheel spacers.

Having a hard time with Yelp and Google helping me out.

Anyone have a reputable, quality shop they can recommend for me who will do the work (well) and for a decent price? Thanks much.

Why not just put them on yourself? It's a 15-20 minute task at most.

I don't have the tools or a shop to do it in. Shop jack, torque-measuring wrench, etc. I hire this out, as my history has shown that I'm not very handy with this sort of thing. I leave it to the professionals.

I used DFW Bimmer. Spacers installed.... Thanks guys

Before and after spacers, 12mm front and 15mm back. Prolly could have gone 15/18 after seeing the clearances.

Larry,
I just bought a 2011 M-Sport, why would one want to install these spacers?

Hey... Another 335d in San Antonio!
Spacers will make the wheel visually sit more flush to the outside of the fender and, to some small degree, widen the track of the wheelbase.

Thanks Eric, trying to learn all the in and out.

Yes, the prior post covered it. Spacers add a "more aggressive" look, and widen the appearance of the vehicle slightly, which changes the center of gravity, which theoretically can improve "road stickiness" and handling. (I'm sure to a VERY SMALL degree compared to suspension upgrades - but these are affordable, a good little cheap upgrade which looks great.)

Make sure to get longer bolts to match the added thickness of the spacer. It's an extra cost, but is a very important one.

I've got 15mm spacers on the rear for my winter setup - looks much better when you're used the the wider summers back there.

The Burger Motorsports kit came with all the required hardware. Thanks much.

HOWEVER: Now I need my fenders rolled - the tires are scraping the fenders at bouncy highway speeds !!

Looking for a shop in DFW area which professionally does fender rolling and after the first couple of days, striking out:
Dorbritz Designs in Plano used to do it - out of business.
Texas Track Works in Ft. Worth used to do it - no longer perform that service.

Anyone know of a shop in North Texas or Oklahoma or Louisiana that will do it? Willing to travel up to 300 miles for the right shop !! Thanks much !!

These guys did a great, professional job rolling my fenders. I'll try to post some comparison pics later. They do suspensions and other stuff, so I'm likely to use them again.

The moral of this story is that if you use stock tires on a 2011 335d mSport, and add 12mm/15mm spacers front/back, you are going to need to get your fenders rolled to avoid rubbing.
