Hey pal, Hubcentric spacers for the e60 do not require studs to be pressed in. Your info is a little misleading. Also, H&R spacers are not the best, they are however, the most expensive. Turnermotorsport and velocity motorcars make a better spacer than H&R. Try getting an H&R spacer off your car after months use. Then try the same with a TMS or Velocity motorcars spacer and tell me which one you like better. An added benefit of Velocity spacers are they have a patented lockdown feature. Look it up and you will see what it is all about. I have run almost every brand of spacer including H&R so I have many comparative reviews. BTW, none of them come even close to $300...

Also, unless the wheels are custom, then there is no way to control the offset. Custom wheels are expensive and not everyone has the patience to wait for them. Spacers are a great way to acheive a custom look for mass produced wheels.

 

hey there slick - here's my quote "also DEPENDING on the size of the spacer and the model you get (i recommend H&R) you'll have to press new studs in" I'm glad that you can chime in with some of your opinions as this is what makes these forums worth while but nothing i've said is misleading. in fact misquoting my statements and sentiments is what you've done. NEVER did I say "the best" I said what I recommend. and "AROUND" 300 bucks for H&R spacers that need studs pressed is a fair guesstimate. relax buddy.

the main point of my statement was to make sure he isn't unwisely spending money on mods that might become obsolete if he chooses to buy wheels in the future.

 

Sorry NEWBIE...Here's what I can't understand you recommending a product that is entirely wrong for our application. Spacers that require studs to be pressed into our not even recommended for the e60. So if by reading this post, one could wrongly go this route. Another negative ontop of that is the pricepoint (around $300) in which you state. For the proper H&R "hubcentric" spacer, it will cost half of what you wrongly "recommend"!

I am sorry if you feel offended as this was not my intentions, but I do find your post a bit "misleading" as it offers an option that shouldn't and doesn't apply to the e60.

 

here you go:



back on topic now.

 

Although the pic shows different. If you read the fine print, all that is required is longer wheel bolts. No need to use the press in bolt option. H&R also makes a simpler solution wheel spacer with just 5 holes. Anyway... back on subject.

 

please...back on topic now guys,

I've read so many threads from members here not experiencing any problem running thick spacers in the rear. It's just the thought of having a thick spacer in the middle between the wheel and the hub, it seems like some of the pressure is now being placed on the bolts due to the extra length of the bolt.

 

right on. cheers.

 

A little friendly debate never hurt anybody. Sebash brought it to my attention that there is more than one way to skin a cat.

 

it's a god damn love fest now !!!
