spacers?

[e30construction]

ok well instead of just getting tires i went ahead and bought rims and tires together but the tires are a little skinny..ive been trying to do some research but have been left clueless already..if somebody can tell me how this works wld be great...i already know what sizes i want 2 15mm for the front and 2 20mm for the back..what all do i need to do this including lug bolt size and and nuts? thanks in advance and its 4 a 89 325i

return the wheels and tires and get the correct size....that's the way it works.

Spacers will do nothing for tires that are too narrow for the wheels. I'm assuming however you meant that the wheels sit too far into the wheel wells. You are going to want hubcentric spacers with a 57.1mm centerbore and a 4x100mm bolt pattern.

If you get non-hubcentric spacers (please don't) you can take care of most of the shake by taking your sweet time and torquing the lugs in sequence in multiple steps. (again please don't)

The only reason I do it is because I get spacers from work for $40 a pair that are non-hubcentric. But really its worth the extra $$ to do it right. I dont even like running spacers period.

How about providing wheel size? Wheel offset? Tire size? Seriously man.

How can you "know" what spacers you want when you're "clueless" about it?

wheels are 15x7.5 et 15 tires are 185 55r15(plan to beef them up soon)

As stated before, get hubcentric (57.1 mm), 4x100 spacers and also get the correct extended lug nuts for your spacers.
