Wheel spacers 5MM FRONT, 15MM REAR
I am considering purchasing these spacers. Before I pull the trigger, has anybody on this forum done this with a sport model w/ staggered 18's and regretted it?
Thanks,
Dean

run as wide as you can with the spacers
it will look great

I've got the 545 Sport.
Is there a diiference in hub width between our cars?
How far are your wheels spaced? Are you stock or lowered?
Any problems at high speeds w/ the extra oversteer?

we've done a number of setups of 124s with those sizes spacers. personally before with the 128s, I was running 15mm in the rear as well with no negatives.

I just noticed that you had your fenders rolled in the rear. You have different wheels(different offsets). Which suspension do you have?

Anybody out there with a car similar to mine (545i sport w/ 124 wheels) have any expericece with these spacers? I beleive they are H&R's 5mm front, 15mm rear.

You'll be fine!
I'm running 8,5" wide ET14 rim with a 12mm spacer in rear and that protrudes 9mm more than a 9" wide ET32 rim (style 124) with a 15mm spacer. And I have never had any problems!
edit: The fronts will be fine too.
