What other decent brands of spacers than.....???

mapleleaf1773 · 08-20-2021, 01:14 PM

I'm thinking about getting wheel spacers and know what size I need. I'm just wondering what other brands are decent quality other than the normal apex, bmw, ecs, and turner. After spending over $1,200 on wheels and tires Id like to get a decent price on needed spacers.

I guess I should have done better with my offsets (I'm sure someone will say that), but that boat has sailed. I'd rather not spend another $250-$300 plus on spacers. Thanks for understand, lol.

2011 328 xdrive - spacer sizing needed:
10mm up front
15 in rear
Will need new hardware too

I'm thinking now just suck it up and use apex. It seems the best quality ones out there. The rears are definitely in need, but the front ones may be ok without spacers. I'm debating...

You should have got the right wheels / offset.

Sorry, had to. Lol

Ill go now ☹

does it even matter the brand, it's just a flat piece of metal? as long as you use good hardware and it covers the contact patch of your wheel hub.

Yea, good hardware is a necessity

H&R seems to last good on my E90 (15mm rear), also they sell kits with lengthened bolts and wheel locks in either grey or black (also decent stuff).

Ironically I bought some Eibach spacers for my winter wheels on the E46 recently (good deal), but went with H&R bolts because they were available and also pretty cheap.

For H&R look for 75725-15 for 15mm, 75725-10 for 10mm spacers and bolts. Add B before the number for black bolts and spacers. Both "DR" system for E9x, E46 etc M12 1,5mm.

FWIW, my ECS spacers have been great for 8+ years.

Old-ish thread, and not sure if you got your spacers yet, but +1 for the H&R spacers. I've had them for like 8 years and no issues with them at all.

Although I had no issues with H&R spacers, I now prefer using wheels with the correct offset.
