Spacers with Style 35 wheels

[Jonnysnapzzz]

Hi all,

I would be grateful if anyone could recommend some spacers for my style 35 wheels. Pic below.
I would like to add these to fill the arches a little, will look to drop it later in the year too but as spacers are a simple task i might just crack on with this first.
As you can see i have 16" standard 35 wheels, please don't suggest swapping these out because i actually like them and i prefer the chubby look of the meaty tires.
I am thinking 15 or 20mm for the rears, whats the common thinking for this type of wheel?
Secondly. Fronts, yes or no and size?

I am assuming its just plug and play with these and no need to check alignment and stuff?

Thank you for your advice, any links to the right products would be appreciated too.

Easiest way to work out what you can fit is use a striaght edge to the floor and measure back to the rim edge this will give you a measurement to flush.
i would go hubcentric ...2 types bolt on to the car and bolt the wheel to the spacer or longer bolts and bolt straight back on.
I have used the longer bolt ones with out any issue @20mm @Bozzy is running them on his 2.8 at the moment and has tracked the car so are more than up to the job, its just working out what room you have.

I run the same type as well, 20mm on the back, none on the front. Tracked as well. As Ant says use a vertical straight edge dropped from the arch and measure to the top of the rim.

I bought these :

I use MTEC 20mm on the rears (16's). No issues.

Thanks guys, i checked and it looks like 20mm easily. Fronts are not far from flush so 10mm max there. Will prob just do the rears and see how it looks first.

I also use 20mm hubcentric spacers on the rear (see pic). Looks good and drives fine.

I put 12mm on the rear only. Agree with the 16" wheels comment.

I had 20mm on the rear and 14mm on the front of my Z3 on 17" wheels, lowered 30mm. I removed these when I got my Z4 and now use them on it, with both 18" summer and 17" winter wheels also lowered 30mm (total, was on sport susp. from factory)

I can recommend these for the rear:

Eibach are more expensive but these are really nice quality hub centric and stay in place when you take the wheel off.

 

[Jonnysnapzzz]

All fitted, 20mm on the rear only.
Just shy of flush with the arches now.

 

[Mint]

That looks better
Just needs dropping a bit now

Hi Steve
Hows it going ?
The 3.0 that I bought in August is all sorted and going well and thinking that it would look better with spacers on the back my wheels are 16" so do you think that the ones that you have fitted are worth the extra cash ?
Regards

Much better, I'd stick some 10s on the front

Thinking of putting 20s on mine but it has the sports suspension and sits a lot lower than my std. 1.9 so if I fit 20s will the tyres miss touching wheel arches ?

Short answer, yes.

I fitted 20mm on the back of both mine, both sports models, with no problems

Ok Thanks just need to decide which spacers are the most expensive really the best for just normal road driving ?

I bought Mtec hubcentric ones, think they were about £45 iirc.
