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.
Excellent!

Thank you for the info. I think I'll do it.


Take care
Dean

Hold the phone... If I put 5mm spacers on the front, are these spacers, being so thin, going to be hub-centric? I wouldn't add a spacer that was not centered and fixed radially by tthe hub.

they would be hubcentric yes. just make sure at install that the spacer is completely against the hub and the wheel is completely against the spacer.

Actually the 5mm spacer is so thin that it's not possible to make the spacer itself hubcentric. So it is basically just a disc with the correct size center hole and the holes for bolts. But the spacer being only 5mm thick, the original hub lip is exposed enough to center the wheel correctly .

5mm spacer:

spacers are great mods for the price, hella flush is the best of course, you should have no issues with 5mm in front and 15mm in the rear

Sorry to sorta thread jack, but would 5mm front and 15mm rear be doable for OEM 166's (M5 offsets) with sport suspension?


And for the OP, I would totally do it if I was riding on my 124's.

We'll see what happens as i currently bought those spacers for my 166. Hopefully no rubbing or anything. Will keep you guys posted.
