    Any 5 lug E30 M3 guy's run roll center spacers?

    Just wanted to see if any of you 5 lug guys with E30 M3 strut's are using Roll center spacers from Gustve or VAC. Like the ones here: http://gsperformance.com/products/rc-spacer/spacer.htm

    Does anyone know what is the smallest wheel size you can run with these installed is?

    thanks

      Yes, I run the spacers and have 17's. I can check clearance tonight, but I don't think you can get away with 16's.

        Ya that's what i'm hearing. I have a set of track wheels and tires that are 15 inch. Looks like i won't install the spacers untill all the thread is gone on the 15's.

          so these things kinda act like a dropped spindle?

            No. Reverse concept, more like a dropped ctrl arm/steering linkage mounting point.

              I'm going to try to fit mine under 16's. but i have thinner ones from mosley motorsport. They are probably 1/2 the thickness of the GSP ones. I need to find bolts to fit them though

                I am running 3/4" spacers from VAC and they barely fit under my 17" wheels.
