Tuner Spacers

Perfectmax · 03-16-2019, 07:14 AM

Looking for 10mm spacers upfront and 5mm spacers in the rear for BBS Fi's that I just purchased. Trying steer clear of vibration issues as best I can and have searched and I know these sizes can be tricky. Any thoughts on which are the best to buy - with the lowest probability of vibration? I'm thinking Turner?

Thanks!

Are the FIs. PFS? If so you should use the BBS space for best fit. If they are hubcentric I would use HR that are German and TUV approved. Also I have purchased Macht Scnell wheel bolts for my BBS spacers since the spacer kit since BBS did not have black bolts in stock. I ordered the MS wheel bolts for 10mm and 5mm spacers and they were too short for comfort. They barely engaged the minimum thread length. So I ordered MS bolts for 12 or 13mm for my 10mm spacer and 8 mm length for 5mm spacer . Those were closer to the length bolts BBS gives you. I am not sure but I believe HR makes the Spacers for BBS because they have to be TUV approved to sell in Germany. So if you go with MS I would order slightly longer bolts or make sure you get minimum 6.5 turns once it hits thread. I got about 5.5 from MS bolts. BBS bolts gave me about 7.5 turns. So be careful when going aftermarket. I hope that helps.

I have BBS FIs in 19" and run a 10mm up front and that's it. I use a Bimmerworld spacer and have zero vibrations
I also have a BW stud conversion which is plenty for a 10mm spacer

I've mounted wheels maybe hundreds of times and when I get a vibration from a spacer I remove it, clean the surfaces, mount again and repeat until it goes away

I’ve used Turner spacers on my e46 M3, e92 M3s and f82 M4. Ive used their spacers with thicknesses ranging from 5 mm to 20 mm (thicker ones used for winter setups) and haven’t had a single issue with any of them. I’d recommend Turner spacers without hesitation.

Turner is what I use.

I used H&R 2075726 10mm hubcentric, in front of my 125i, they fit perfectly are good quality and TUV approval.
You can buy H&R Lugs too.
Take care to measure the wheel hub length & the chamfer in your wheel, hub have to be 12mm max & chamfer in the wheel 4x45° Mini.

On my 125i the length of wheel hub is 11.75mm and 10mm spacer is 100% OK .
