What size spacers to use??

[LSB_M3]

Hi guys,

I was looking to push my new csl rims out a bit. Looking to buy spacers however not sure which size would be best.

I tried to measure an approx measure for an aggressive look (rim aligned with body) and for the front it was like 12 to 15 mm. for the rear it was 5 to 7 mm.

Any ideas??? my rim size and offset are as follows:

Front 19X8.5 ET40
Rear 19X10 ET25

Thanks :)

I was going to say 12mm upfront with 5mm in the rear. Your measurements confirm that...

12-15mm up front might be a bit too aggressive IMO :dunno:

i'd recommend 10mm front & 5mm rear.... H&R is the way to go :D

Tire size? Rim offset? Lowering springs?

Okay so lets say i get the 5mm for back and 10 mm for front....

Will i need any of those longer bolts? or will the ones on the car do?

[Ayham]

You will need longer bolts, spacers are sold with matching bolts...

[LSB_M3]

Ayham, even for 5mm???

And it was good to see u again at F-1, Mr. Presedente :)

for the back with 5mm ull be able to use ur bolts, but for the fronts ull need longer ones. May i add, for your M3 and if ur new rims have the same OEM offsets go with the 12mm spacers:)

[LSB_M3]

^ I'm worried 12mm will be too much! I mentioned the offset and size, i have no idea if they are same as stock, i dont think so.

5mm spacers = stock bolts
10mm spacers come with longer bolts (H&R at least)
