    I did have something posted in there about it I think. I need to do some measuring that I don't really get haha
    I was told this on norcale30
    "Now, about spacers. BMW designs their wheels to be hubcentric - the wheel is located on the center portion of the hub, which also supports the weight of the car. The bolts just hold the wheel to the hub. If you put a 5mm spacer on the center of the hub, it will cover most of the center portion of the hub, leaving only a few mm's available to center the wheel. If the center bore of the wheel has a deep chamfer (bevel), the center bore won't sit on the center portion of the hub, which can lead to vibrations if the wheel doesn't center. What you need to do is pull off one of your wheels, and inspect the center bore to see how much of a bevel it has. Do some measuring - measure how much the center of the hub protrudes, subtract 5mm to see how much will be left after the spacer. Then, measure the depth of the chamfer on the center bore of the wheel, to see if the wheel will center on the hub. If it doesn't, or if it's sitting on only a few mm of the hub, then I'd suggest going to an 8 or 10mm spacer, which should have a hub extension."

    Its kind of like a foreign language to me :(
    This is my first car and dont know much

    Someone please help me with my wheel spacer decision?
    Bump for new pics and much needed recommendations with wheel spacers!

    Anyone have any advice on good spacers and bolts? I've been looking at H&R

    Vorshlag:
    Vorshlag designs, builds, and sells automotive products for late model sports cars. This includes our line of spherical camber plates, shocks, V8 swaps and more.

    Ecs tuning:
    http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Wheel_Spacers/ES250715/

    I need wheel bolts around the whole car, due to one of the P.Os putting wheel studs in without loctite and they arent torquing down enough.
    I need recommendations I am a noob

    Would these H&R wheel spacers work with my rims?
