Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Spacers

05Mdriver · 10-06-2021, 09:28 AM

In regard to spacers - I am curious to know the physics of them

How longer bolts effect things, how much torque / stress is on the bolts

Asking mainly because I am runnng Porsche 5x130 wheels with adapters on my e92..

Anyone know if I can use the bolt for a 5mm spacer (33mm length) on a 3mm spacer? Just don’t want the bolt to bottom out

Front or rear? Rear has the e-brake to take into consideration. 2mm is very little, though. I think you'll be fine. I had issues with 5mm extra in the rear once. It just kissed.
