SPACERS! need help !

heemry328i · 02-22-2008, 12:53 AM

i have 18" bmw performance wheels 18x8 F 18x8.5 rear Front offset:47 Rear:50

whats a good size spacer i would need? it doesnt have to completely flush with the fenders but i would want it to be close. And i heard if you have too big of spacers that could be dangerous.. or no?(i.e. 25 mm)

heemry328i · 02-23-2008, 04:02 PM

anyone?

I have 12 mm spacers on the rear of my sedan, 18x8.5 ET of 37. Still have plenty of room for no rubbing. I suggest either a 12 or 15 mm

you could go 20mm rear and 15mm front.

15mm or even 20mm

To get that ET50 wheel anyway near flush, you need a spacer thats 25-30mm.

I just wouldnt trust anything that big. Maybe thats just me.

Find wheels that fit the E90 maybe?

what are the sizes/ offsets on those rims?

KkSc · 02-25-2008, 01:59 AM

i will say 15mm is perfect!!

I would say 15mm is fine, but your wheels won't be flush unless your spacers are seriously huge. 15mm is fine though, I think it'll do the job of making your car look more aggressive. I'd recommend you just getting wheels that fit your car though >_>
