wheel spacers advice

Itr123 · 07-02-2023, 02:54 PM

I've done my research on the subject and decided on 12mm front and 15mm rears on my f22 m235i.

I've got original wheels, with tyres 225/40/18 fronts and 245/35/18 rears

As I don't have a square setup, I'm now thinking off getting 12mm spacers front & back.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

Get a wheel hanging tool. It’s like having a third hand. Thread it into a lug bolt hole and hang the spacer and wheel from it. It makes it much easier to line up the holes in the wheel to put the lug bolts in. BMW used to include one in the toolkit but not anymore.

That’s what I just ordered (12mm all around). There is a spacers thread showing different setups and I made my conclusion based on this. Will post there once I install

Stud conversion, wheel bolts are dumb
