sciroccotune 0 Posted January 18, 2006 I have read that hubcentric are the best type of spacers, so with this in mind would it be ok to stick 15mm spacers onto my front wheels to fill the arches a bit more. my wheel et is 35 and its all std height. cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woody 0 Posted January 19, 2006 I run BBS 17" and had to get the front edge of the arches flared out when fitting my 15mm spacers to allow my brembos to be fitted. Cheers Woody Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Woody Arent you wheels 7 1/2" wide though making them an extra 12.7mm wider to start with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lippy 0 Posted January 19, 2006 cant remember if this is true or not (Darren, feel free to shoot this down ;)) but the C is wider at the back than the front therefore to maintain handling balance the rears should be the same amount wider at the rears....e.g. 15mm+ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 19, 2006 Other way round, track is narrower at the rear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60ING 0 Posted January 20, 2006 if you were using a different rim i'd suggest you use this website but you aren't but you may find it helpful for future changes: http://www.bmwcsregistry.org/Technical/ ... atives.htm I think you have pleanty of room for an extra 15mm with your wheel and tire combo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
