3mm E30 specific wheel spacers

[ZedOne]

As per the Z3 reinforcement plates thread, I'll be getting a batch of 3mm wheel spacers made up for zoners.....who's interested??

I have yet to finalise the dimensions (spacer O/D) but the PCD will be 4x100 and the centre bore will be 57.1 - so plug & play for all those looking for a set but don't want universal ones....

They will be sold in pairs and will be zinc plated so they will not rust.

Price will be finalised once I get the final spec & send the CAD file to the engineering company.

Final price will include postage.

I am hoping to get these turned around in a similar timescale to the Z3 plates (3 weeks) or maybe less.

I will need a minimum order of 15 pairs to make it work, so please let me know if you are wanting any? (maybe best to wait until price is finalised before sticking your name down if you are unsure??)

Those wanting a pair of 3mm Spacers:

1: ZedOne
2: ZedOne
3: Ste
4: Ste

Dude - after fitting my coilovers I needed a larger front spacer (due to my WMS brakes). So I actually now need 2 x3mm spacers and 2 x 5mm spacers...

Any chance I can amend my order and they'll provide in various widths?

Hi Ste,

I'll look into it for you - although I am still waiting for the dims from you?? (stud hole size and outer diameter of the spacer)

I'll not be able to get to my E30 for quite some time (damn those floods!) so need you to get me the data before I can proceed....

Many thanks,

Bruce.

Sorry Bruce, it had slipped my mind that you needed info from me. I don't have access to my car either at the moment. I'll hopefully be getting it back by the end of the week and I'll update then if I can.

Any progress on this ?

I may be interested in 2 pairs of 3mm spacers depending on prices.

Cheers,

Er.......there's more to this than you might think!

The E30 has two different sizes "bores" that come into play on the front hubs, one is inside the disc and it's locating bit on the hub, the other is the wheel and main/wheel locating part of the hub.

This normally doesn't affect wheel spacers where the E30 OEM disc is fitted as the larger "disc bore" locator on the hub is below/flush with the surface of the disc's face.

However, the 280mm G60 disc (as used in both the WMS and Wilwood kits) has a 2mm-ish thinner flange, leaving the part of the hub the disc centres on sitting slightly proud. Again this isn't a problem with nice slack MultiFit spacers as they have huge great bores on them even bigger than the disc locating one.

However, take a thin-flange G60 disc and try to fit a wheel spacer that locates on the WHEEL'S locating bit and it'll get hung up on the larger and exposed disc-locating part of the hub.

I hope that makes sense!!!!

What I'm trying to get at is that to avoid the "step" the thinner G60 disc uncovers you need to slap a pretty big shamfer (or maybe oversize-counterbore-type-thing) round the "hub side, inside diameter" of the spacer.

Thanks for the heads-up Keri. If I ever get my car back I'll do some careful measuring for Bruce to ensure the spacers will work with the 280mm discs as well as the standard E30 brakes.
