What Wheel spacer do i need???? noob question*

lancer101 · 11-17-2009, 06:22 PM

Howzit guys! i have had my four 19x8.5 (235/35/19 tire) m6 rep wheels on my last car (e46) and than had them put on my new e92. Now I notice that the rear wheels are tucked in past the fender... its bugging me so what should i know about wheel spacers.... The good & the bad. and if possible what size spacer should i be looking at.

Thx

Do you know the offset of the wheels?

catch · 11-17-2009, 06:46 PM

pics? offsets? Hard to give an educated guess without at least a pic. I can take a random guess if you want though...
Id say you need 15mm haha

lancer101 · 11-17-2009, 06:57 PM

ET35 offset... I got the same wheel size all around... but im really just concerned with the rear stance. Ill try to get a pic in tonight

yamazaho · 11-17-2009, 07:05 PM

I would start with a 15mm, but for some reason I think you can do 20mm....

lancer101 · 11-17-2009, 10:16 PM

Just measured the top of my tires edge to the fender of the car. and it looks like an inch.... or really 7/8s of an inch. any advise?

big rear spacer will fix it. u should also do a 10mm in the front

Than I say get some 15mm spacers to match your front fitment.

david @ eas · 11-18-2009, 02:57 PM

I would suggest measuring up the gap between the inner fender to the top of the tire to see how much clearance you have... Once you get that, then go with the proper spacer size

i still have stock height, never bought lowering springs yet but ill check... thx

A 8.5ET35 should be more aggressive than the OEM fitment so it shouldn't be that tucked in compared to the OEM. Either way, a 15mm spacer should solve your problems.

That is mad tucking. It looks worse than a set of OEM rims.

lonestar22 · 11-19-2009, 12:33 PM
