i bought M6 Style Replica Wheels - 19x8.5 ET15-front/19x9.5 ET22-Rear, from modbargains for my 2004 530i e60 and they gave me some hub rings to fit the wheels but im not sure what size?


i got the wheels installed, my tires are 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear and for some reason they dont look as flush as i was hoping, i dont want them sticking out or anything, i just want that flush look so i think i need some spacers to get that flush look but im not sure what size spacers i need??

NOTE: i have a oem sport suspension and i will be getting H&R sport springs soon so i dont want them sticking out or rubbing!

thank you in advance for your help

 

best way for a rough estimate would be to measure with a ruler to the nearest milimmeter from the tire and outward towards the fender.

 

anyone?

 

25mm front and 20mm rear

 

I do not recommend adding spacers to make your wheels more flush with the drop unless you are willing to roll your fenders, mainly on the rear. When ever you want to make your wheels more flush, typically that will mean you will need to roll your fenders. Wheel manufacturers typically go with a conservative offset to try and avoid any rubbing issues as much as possible on both stock (especially those with sport suspension) & for those who decide to lower their car. Drop me a PM if you have any further questions.

 

most rubbing occurs from high offsets and narrow widths, hence rubbing on the side of the fender

 

I say 5mm on all 4 corners just to be safe.

 

he wont see any difference at all with 5mm

 

What if u have staggered wheels say 245/30/20FRONT and 295/25/20REAR what spacers would be recommended for staggered? or can you put spacers on only the front and not the back?

 

yes
