Front spacers

cdti · 07-03-2017, 07:42 PM

I'm looking for some 15mm spacers to go on the front of the E90. It has ISPIRI ISR10 8.5j ET35 wheels on the front with 235 rubber. Will 15mm be ok and if so, where should I get the from, what brand or are they all the same?

Thanks Ad.

I got my spacers here:

I'd recommend Eibach or H&R. You can get cheapo spacers on eBay, but IMHO this is a safety-critical part and I wouldn't compromise on quality. Whatever you do, don't go for anything other than hubcentric.

As to what size you need, the best advice is to measure your own set-up, as what you can fit will vary with wheel and tyre types. There's a how-to guide here:

Hub buddies and/or Bimmec are great spacers! Have them for just under a year with no problems whatsoever. Well priced too I think they're like £30-£40.

Absolutely don't go for the cheapest there is, but also there's probably no need to go for £100 spacers for road driving.

Depends if you've got an LCI or pre-LCI. I have 10J ET33's on my LCI and I got scraping on undulations, just had the arches rolled to eliminate this.

Will it not feel a bit odd to drive unless you use 15mm spacers on the rear as well?
