i was wondering how much air pressure i need to put on my 19s... the size is 245/35 19 and 275/30 19. also does anyone know if its ok if i just use regular spacers... someone from the e46 forum said its not safe and there will be vibration... i think if its bolted on then it should be fine. thanks for you help... this is the spacers Im talking about. something like that.. those universal ones

Hubcentric spacers work great because they have a center bore that matches the center bore on the car exactly then they have a center lip for the wheels to mount on that also have the matched center bore...I have run up to 20mm H&R Hubcentric spacers personally and had ZERO problems. The spacers you are linking to are not hubcentric and I would not recommend using them.

Take a look at this photo of my H&R 20mm hubcentric spacers. If you look closely you can see that the lip on the hub is inside the spacer and that it is a perfect match...in fact the spacer is just being held in place by the lip...also notice that the spacer has a lip built in that the wheel will also slide onto with a perfect match....all you need is longer bolts and you have a perfect setup
