My rims are too wide in the front and were scraping on my strut. I found some thin (5mm) spacers that are direct fit (not universal). I have heard about spacers causing vibration and do not want to have a crappy ride on a BMW. So I want to know if spacers really cause vibration and what would be my other options other than spacers.
Thanks

 

to be honest I have 15mm spacers from Sonic Tuning, I never really had an issue with the ride after I put them on. In terms of options... I think spacers is the only solution unless you want to get new wheels.

 

it depends on the quality of the spacers. some can cause vibrations if they do not sit flush against the hub or your rim. have you noticed any change in ride since you put them on?

 

i had the same issue with the inner tire,wheel barely touching the strut on my ksports. simply had to not go as low as i wanted. as long as it clears by 1 mm your good since they go up and down in unison

 

I havent put them on yet. But I need them in order to put my front wheels. These spacers I found do sit flush. It's a place that sells spacers only. Look to be good quality.

 

Thanks for your help guys. Spacers it is.
