What size spacers for stock basketweaves?

[CorvallisBMW]

What's a good size spacer for stock basketweaves on a lowered car (H&R sports)? I don't want fender rubbing issues, but I want to push my wheels out so they don't look like they're trying to hug my transmission tunnel.

I've seen 15mm ones make them look pretty badass.

I thought someone on here was running 20mm spacers with stock weaves.

[CorvallisBMW]

I think 20mm will fit. I may have to roll the fenders, but meh....

15mm will handle up to 205/60/14.
20mm for 195s.

No rolling for either.

If you go 15mm spacer, what longer lug nuts size should you get?

[Mystikal]

Dunno, people tend to just order them together. I think Turner just asks if you want to add bolts to the order.

I'm getting my spacers made by a friend who owns a machining business, for about half of what everyone else charges. So I'll need longer bolts, or studs. Which is better?

[z31maniac]

Just depends, if you plan on swapping wheels alot, or just want them to be easier to put on if you have take them off go studs.

If you go 15mm spacer, what longer lug nuts size should you get?

If you get a 15mm spacer, you need 15mm longer bolts. Because the wheel is now 15mm farther from the original hub face.

Only way to go... IMHO

Not stock weaves but 15" Corrado G60 wheels with the same width and offset(6.5 ET33). I have 17mm spacers up front and 20's in the rear with 205/50's


I could probably go 25 in the rear without problems with mildly rolled fenders. I probably would but I plan on ditching these wheels soon.

You parked next to me at the Eugene BBQ in July.

i had 20mm in front with studs and 35mm in the back with studs running 14" weaves with stock tire size, lowered on eibach springs and it looked perfect, did not have to roll the fendrers, no rubs or anything.
