What spacers are you guys using?

bryce · 30-11-2008, 12:06 PM

As you'll see here http://www.cslregister.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1011 Ive fitted my KWs. But to achieve thw ride height I want, I think Im needing spacers, as its rubbing the springs.

Ive done a bit of reading up on the www and I see many are going bigger in the front than rear, to get the axles matching width wise. I dont want to do that, I want to keep the oem look of wider rear - hence same size all round. I want to go the minimum I can, to keep stresses to the min.

Any recommendation?

Ac Schnitzer spacers come in 7mm

I run 15mm front and 10mm rear
it still has the wider rear look

by the way this is for a few reasons but the main one is because they seem to have self welded themselves onto the track rims!

^would these do? Or are my wheels (CSL) a beveled mounting surface? They're half the price of 10mm

Personally I don't run spacers... but these are on the BMsport.com website and seem a fair price. With the weak exchange rate plus postage the TMS (Turner Motorsport) stuff just isn't as cheap as it used to be

Anyway if you call Bexleys tell them I sent you... (Tom)

Thanks Tom, how come you dont run them when your car seems pretty low?

Are 5mm OK for oem wheels, Id imagine there wont be much grip on the original hub?

Are they TMS spacers btw?
