Hi Guys, hope everyone is good...

Im in the middle of purchasing some new wheels for my 318iS and I need to get some spacers.

They're BK rims, and they came off a Cav GSi 2000. They fit well, but they just sit inside the arch TOO much.

Does anyone have an idea where to get some good spacersfrom, and what kind of depth i'll need? I reckon about 15-20mm should do the trick

Cheers peeps :)

HI mate I just bought some BK240's for mine. I went to A1 motorstore and they supplied me with some 20mm spacers at Ԛ£60 I also needed some new bolts as the originals were too short. the guy there gave me those free, which was good of him. unfortunately the bolts i got off them were slightly too long and so i ended up cutting about 2 threads off of each one. that was pain!

Almost forgot you need the correct spigot ring insert for the spacer to mate to the hub. It is 57.1 bore by the way.

Hope this helps

Thanx DaZMaN...

I've already got the spigot rings fortuneatly enough. Thats a lotta money for spacers though, eh?

I'll see what I can source

i'll be selling 16" Azev A's, 5 with good tyres all round once these are on. not the best condition, but i want about 300 for 'em

best bet is to use the universal 1's. they do the job.

when you do fit the spacers you must get longer bolts so it holds the alloy in place. SAFETY THINGS!!!!!!!1

i have team dynamics 17`s on my cavalier gsi,
haven`t tried them on the 325 but thought that they might fit on.

i guess any spacers you can buy from any car acc store would do but
you will need longer bolts
