Offset and spacer question.....

TigMik · 04-15-2013, 07:04 AM

I have a set of wheels with an ET35 on the rear. e93 by the way. What size spacer can I go up to safely? The gap looks pretty big and the wheel sits in the arch too much. Would it be safer to stick with say a 5mm?

Cheers

If the wheels are deep into the arches, 5mm won't do anything. You'll need at least 15mm. But take the guesswork out of it by measuring! These guides will show you how to do it:
