Noob Question: 16x7 Konig Remember et35

[khnordeen]

Alright, so I know that most people said it would be easier to run the et20 Remembers, but I found a really good deal on an et35 set, so I decided to jump on them and bite the bullet on a set of spacers.

I purchased a set of 15mm spacers from ECS (http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E30-318...cers/ES260065/). I was under the impression that since they are listed as hubcentric, the wheels would be a direct, snug fit onto the hub and there wouldn't be any wobble.

I tried to test fit one of the wheels today and there is a gap between where the spacer mounts to the hub and I was wondering if somebody could point me in the direction of what I need to properly mount them on my car.

Would the 15mm hubcentric spacers listed in the VW section of ECS work instead of the ones they sent me? Would a set of their hubcentric rings fix this problem?

I'm also wondering if they sent me the wrong spacers. The ones I received were labeled as "VW 4x100."

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

There shouldn't be a gap between the spacer and hub, I think they sent you the wrong ones.

[khnordeen]

I actually just got a reply from the people at ECS and they said that the spacers they sent are the correct ones.

The spacers fit fine onto the wheel hub on the car, but the wheels don't sit flush on the center "ring" on the spacers.

Would a set of hubcentric rings solve my problem?

Yes, you need rings that fit into the centerbore of the wheel to take up the extra space. I believe Tire Rack sells them if you call them and tell them what you need.

I'm wondering what you were able to figure out.

I've got the same wheels and I'm looking to get them onto my car soon!

hubcentric rings. 57.1mm i think is e30 bore but I'm not 100% sure.

That is correct. The centerbore for the wheels should be 73.1mm also. Tire rack will have them along with a number of other tire shops. Very cheap too.
