10mm Spacer
Hi Guys,
I am thinking of putting in a 10-12mm spacer to my 135i wheels (215 front and 245 back) to make the tyres flush to the car and for a more aggressive stance. Just wondering what is the general consensus regarding this and if there are any pro/cons and if it is even worth the money. Thanks in advance. |

Make sure the spacer actually fits over the hub lip on the rear.
You can measure it with a ruler but every manufacturer is different in how they bore out the centre of the spacer. eg. 10mm hub lip protrusion may still foul the inside of the spacer. I had to grind my hubs down a bit. Still heaps of meat left as the rim only touches a 5mm wide area |

I was able to fit a 15mm spacer to my rears for a flush look. on 245/35 PS4 tyres.
Fronts were also 8.5" wide on a 225/40 and I had a 12.5mm spacer https://www.turnermotorsport.com/t-wheel_guide there is also a guide on using spacers less than 10mm |

The usual go-to spacers for street work: https://burgertuning.com/products/e-...heel-spacers-1
A set comes up for sale in Australia every few months. I've ran them on multiple cars, mainly for the looks. |

I had 10mm front 12mm rear on my 135i and I found it improved the handling quite substantially. No need to get Burger, there's a mob called Caold technology in Clayton Vic, which engineers them, I've had three sets of hub centric ones for them and they have all been spot on. You can buy them on ebay, and if they don't list them you just message them and the will custom make the size you need.
