Spacer suggestions

refugeeofwar · 07-19-2015, 10:30 AM

Hey guys! I have a 2011 328xi with the 5-spoke sport package wheels (style 206, I believe). I still have my tire and rim warranty so I'm not gonna swap them out for a bit so in the meantime, I would like to throw some spacers behind them to make the whole thing look a little more aggressive. So, to my fellow E92 328xi coupe guys, what would you suggest as a nice spacing? Thanks in advance.

Measure your fender to the tire/rim... That's going to be the best bet to get the correct size spacer for your vehicle. There is some DIY on how to measure, Google. I got 15mm spacers for my front wheels on Amazon with extended bolts and they work just as good as those name brand ones for less.

Ok, I'll Youtube some DIY vids tonight and check out burger tuning after that. Hopefully they don't charge an arm and a leg to ship to Canada. Thanks.

style 206 was never offered on the e90. it was on the x3. most people go with 12.. front and 15mm out back and usually have good results. That said, we'd need to know your actual rims and the width and offset to give you an internet opinion on what will work without rubbing.

I found a really nice tutorial done by the ECS Tuning guys on Youtube. I'm just gonna do the measurements myself now and go from there. Not sure if I will order from them, as shipping from the states to Canada is sometimes expensive. Maybe I can find a good Canadian dealer.... and maybe ECS will cut me a good deal on shipping. I know I enquired about buying a bumper from them before and they wanted almost as much as they were charging for the bumper in shipping costs. Oh well, I'll see what I can find. I'll keep the 12mm front and 15mm rear measurements in mind when I measure mine so I can get a mental picture of it. Thanks guys.
