Need wheel spacers?

JJANG1 · 10-28-2009, 02:51 PM

I have E93 with BMW Performance Wheels Style 269. (8J x 19 225/35 R19Y front; 9J x 19 255/30 R19Y rear)
Do i need to get wheel spacers if i change suspension set to KW V1?

Not unless you'd like to push the wheels out a little further

+1 if you want the flush look then get spacers if you like the tucked in look then you do not need spacers..

Last time when i installed FK coilover, my wheels touch the coilover spring slightly without spacer.
Is it possible installed KW V1 without the spacer?

Depends on how low you will be running your coilovers. When I ran my v2s on a super low setting, the ride height adjuster would rub against the front wheel on a 19x8 et35. Once I raised it up so that the ride height adjuster was no longer at the same level as the wheel I was fine. The rears won't be an issue though. I'd pick up a set of 5mm spacers and extended wheel bolts just in case. Even if you don't end up needing them they'll still make your stance look better.
