Wanting to test out spacers

[mashimarho]

Anyone have any spacers that I would be able to try on? I'm open to many different sizes, because I'd like to try different ones. Prefer something in the Greater Seattle area.

I have set of 5, 10 and 12 I think. Problem is they don't just pop on and off unless you machine around the stud holes. Fit very tight and pain to get off. Quit running spacers as soon as track was in picture. 5s I have are an attempt to make 285-30 fit on front of my e46!

What city are you in? I might want to try the 12.

I'm not inclined with using spacers. Is this an issue with all of them or just the kind that you have? If they're that much of a pain, I'm not too sure yours are the ones I'd test out.

Ones I've used are Macht snell. Not sure how others are. Went and dug thru my parts room and could only find a set of 3mm ones so must have already sold or given away others.

Whatever you didn't complain, much.

what is your current wheel size, offset, and tire width? M3 or 335i? lots of pictures of peoples setups and spacer threads

Thanks for the input. I have an e92 335i. I ran TE37 SL 18x10.5 +22; tire size was 265/35 and the Forgestar F14 SDC 19x11 +25 rear; tire was 265/30. I got an opportunity to test out the VMR V803, and they only came in 19x9.5 +25; with 265/30 tire. So, I'm looking to space out the rear to get to a ball park of what I've had before. So, I wanted to test a couple out and see what suits best. I've been told by the offset calculator that 20mm should be 1mm under from my F14?

Feel like selling those 3mm spacers?

Not yet may need them if I try to fit 285-30 up front on the e46.

That is correct. 20mm spacer will effectively bring the outer edge to fit like 19x11 +24 which is only 1mm more aggressive than your previous setup. Keep in mind your current tires will also be more square with your current setup since it's a 265/30 on a 9.5" rim rather than 11" which will affect the fitment.

Good point. Thank you
