    16x9 et15 + What Spacer!?

    So I bought a set of borbet type B's in 16x9 et15.

    The fronts rub and was wondering if the 5mm H&R spacers are the way to go?

    I read on turnermotorsports that it doesn't work with a beveled surface like that found on the back of the borbets. :/

        i have 16x9 et15 borbet T.

        I am running a 10mm in front and a 15 in rear. But i think 10mm is perfect, they sit flush.

                        I use a 5mm HUBCENTRIC spacer for the front to clear the struts, ask steve from tunershop he can help you get the correct ones.

                              318i strut would still work with that rim :)

                              Wouldn't be first "strut downgrade" to get 9*16" et 15 rims to fit :)
