    3mm wheel spacers and hubcentric rings for redrilled style 5's

    These are 3mm spacers that also adapt a 57.1mm hub to 72.56mm hub. lug pattern is 4x100. These are perfect for adapting fill and redrilled style 5s. My style 5s aren't redrilled yet in the photo.

    I have 4 of these, all brand new.


    $120 shipped for all four.
    $65 shipped for a pair.

    I believe e38 style 5's have 72.56 mm center hub bore... make sure you have it right.

            i was told i need atleast a 5mm spacer in the front for my redrilled style 5's.. is this true? or is the 3mm enough to clear the calipers?

              I hear it depends on the thickness of your brake pads. I'm going to try it with just 3mm once I get my style 5s redrilled. If it rubs, then I'll just stack a generic 3mm spacer on the wheel side of this 3mm hubcentric spacer with longer bolts.

                      Not crapping OP's thread but just making some honest statements.
                      Thickness of brake pads is not an issue here.
                      The wheel makes contact with the caliper bracket, not the caliper.
                      And as you know, the bracket does not move in and out like the caliper does.

                      3mm is not enough to clear the caliper bracket. My E38 style5s rubbed even with 5mm spacer. I had to shave the caliper bracket down. Shaved about 3mm off. I have exact same spacer but in 5mm with 3mm of metal removed from the surface of the bracket.

                      So if you do not plan to modify the bracket, you need an 8mm spacer.
                      I have read some people complaining rubbing issue even with 8mm spacer.

                      You can use the 3mm spacer OP is selling, stacked with another 5mm with no lip (57.1mm bore) and get away with it. Price is not bad either. And you do not have to run hubcentric rings that cost another $30 or so.

                        I can't believe that no one wants these.
