Not all spacers are created equal! Make sure you get one that is built from the ground up Properly! Macht Schnell spacers are all made from extremely tough 6061-T6 Aerospace Aluminum with chamfered edges which allows for easy installation, and removal if necessary. Spacers only really need to be hubcentric if you're running 10mm spacers or higher. Anything under that, and you'll still have enough hub on the lip of the car itself, to slide the wheel on safely.
Our spacer kits come with all the necessary bolts to get your car up and running right away, so there's no guess work, and you'll actually get a full kit. Our extended bolts are hardened and tempered to strength class 10.9 or 10 according to the DIN/ISO standard 898 that meet the statutory requirements of ALL countries, including the US. If you want a safe spacer that a lot of the guys on the forum run, then take it to the next step and check the Macht Schnell Spacer DIY guide: ▀▄ eas | Macht Schnell Competition Wheel Spacers DIY Instructions http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=332063 I hope that helps! |

The MS units are perfectly fine in the rear and have no fitment issues to date.

In a perfect world...
We would never need to buy spacers at all, since all OEM and aftermarket wheels would be manufactured to fit every make & model of car perfectly. But as we all know, the world we live in ain't perfect!
