    Got some low offset wheels, what spacers should I get?

    I have e36 m3 CA and brakes with Z3 RTA and brakes. I don't know much about spacers and where to buy them. The wheels I have now are ET38 offset, the new wheels I just got are ET13, which spacers do I need and how much longer lug bolts do I need? Thanks.

    PM Downernsp, He's a good guy and will help you out with the spacers and you can post on the MYSTIKAL thread about wheels and tire fitment. If you want to be close to flush I say 8mm spacers max so to not rub or rub minimally. That'll put you at 5mm offset.

    GLW the fitment.

      Does one really need spacers on et13? I would test fit them as is first. It sounds like you are running E36 5 lug? Those may poke too much as is.

        Spacers can only lower your offset. Like et41 with 20mm spacers yield et21.

          Maybe he is going for F1 fitment? You either need diff e30m3 5 lug or new wheels. Sorry...

            That's not going to fit at all. Sorry man, but you should have done some research before buying the wheels.

              Yeah...16x8 et20 is pretty flush on E36 5 lug. In fact 205/45/16's on aforementioned size wheels wasn't drivable for me despite rolled fenders (rubbed in rear, although I'm pretty low in back). So et13 and 8" wide is another 1/4" closer to fender, and if the wheels are wider than 8 it'll be even worse.

                I guess he completely missed my ET15 experiment... Good luck pal.

                      Sure I've always loved these wheels and now I finally have a set. If it takes e30 M3 5 lugs and pulled fenders then fuck yeah I'll do it :pimp:
