"The problem you have with the spacer is caused by using the wrong parts on this car. - As you can find in our catalogue or website, the 10mm spacers are not allowed to use on the E46. We specially created 12mm spacers for this car as the center hub of the E36 and E46 models build up to high for the 10mm spacers. If using 10mm spacers the center hub of the wheel trunk is pressed against the inner hub of the spacer which causes the shown damage.
So you wouldn´t have any problem by using the correct parts on the car."

Never seen a problem with the 10mm Rogue Engineering spacers and they are widely used on the US forums (a place where if the parts can go wrong they will in no time).

Also Shimmy wasnt this an Eibach specific issue or across different spacer makes?

tech advice was from EIBACH

due to machining of the hub ring i guess, others should be fine

Just ordered some of these direct from the States with black bolts

$115 for spacers (15mm - includes bolts)
$18 extra for black finish
+ postage extra (+ import tax potential... )

Don't need locking bolts as these will mainly be used on track and my car is rarely left outside anyhow. I tried to source black bolts in the UK but couldn't find them anywhere. I was all set to spray my existing longer bolts but thought 'f**k it' and ordered some instead.
