Wheel spacers?

[Stevieabz]

I want to get some wheel spacers for my 1987 325i Sport. Could anyone suggest a nice size and brand? I don't really know who's who and what's what. Any advice would be great.

Why do you need wheel spacers and what wheel sizes are you using? That will determine what size you need

The word need was never used No one NEEDS spacers, I just want them And I have 15" wheels at the minute, if that's what you meant by size? I kinda meant what size spacers as in the thickness of them 10, 15, 25mm ect. Thanks

People will need to know the wrong the wheels and maybe even the tyre size you are using and what kind of look you are going for. I.e. A bit of poke of you just want the wheels to be a bit more flush.
Some pics would also be useful man

And the rim width. I missed the main one.

I don't think you understand the point of spacers, people do need them, for example to clear struts or callipers.

So what exactly do you want them for then if it's not a clearance issue

By wheel size I mean width and offset, if you don't know those then we might be able to help by what wheels you have

Wheel spacers are discs of metal. There's no better or worse brands.

However, all are worse if they move the wheel centre away from its intended position relative to the hub. Just pushing the wheels out will bugger up your geometry and make your suepension wear out quicker.

If you're doing this for reasons of poke, stance or flushness, then grow up and learn that wheels are for keeping you connected to the road, not for impressing low-trousered mongoloids.

Be aware that if you fit spacers of a certain thickness, you'll also need longer wheel bolts to ensure that there's enough thread remaining in the hub to hold the wheels on!

Also be aware that spacers can sometimes throw the balance out, and put more load on the wheel bearings, so they will wear quicker.
