Installing spacers on e93

2008e93M3lease · 08-27-2009, 04:23 PM

1. Are these things worth it?

2. Anyone know where I can get 15mm and 12mm spacers on the cheap? I don't care too much about performance.

3. So can I just go to a tire store to install these? How much should the install cost? (MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION)

4. Will 15mm and 12mm on stock e93 with new Bridgestone RE11s (same specs as the PS2s) cause rubbing? People have installed 18mm/15mm on stock without rubbing issues I hear.

Peace out

I will repeat something someone told me.

99.5% looks, 0.5% performance

They push your rims and tires further out so they fill up the wheel arch better. And, they make your track wider. Wide = Good

If you like the look then they're worth it, because that's all you're going to get.

They are VERY easy to install yourself. Here is a DIY we made: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=272915

You should have no problem doing that.

I am facing a problem with my 08 335i cabriolet, installed H&R lowering street springs plus got the 15mm all around spacers, the thing is its rubbing and fender rolling wont do the job. So anyone got any info on the size of spacer i must use.
Or anyone interested in 15mm H&R spacers installed for 10 minutes and removed asking price 190.00 CAD. pick up only, no shipping.
Btw car has 19 stock rims sport package.
