12mm Eibach Pro Spacer & Bolt kit.

Practically new 12mm wheel spacers with extended bolts.

I purchased these spacers & bolts from www.drivewire.com last week, unfortunately they don't work with my 06 550i with sports suspension so they're up for sale.

I purchased them for $117.00 plus tax and shipping so I'm looking for $100 + shipping as they were on my car for less than 24hrs..

Thanks

Why doesn't the spacers work with the 550 Sport suspension?

I installed them on my 550i and when I went over dips on the freeway it would make a noise as if it was bottoming out, I think it was the wheel was touching the bottom of the wheel arch under compression, Mike Buzzsaw thought it was due to the OEM sports suspension as his non sports suspension doesn't do it, I agree with him, theres a thread on the mods forum about it.

Thanks

Que? I never said that....

I haven't lowered my car yet because my wheels haven't arrived. Plus I'm on sport.

I have 12mm spacers that I have yet to install. Right now I'm riding with 10mm spacers. I want to see whether I will be scraping with 12mm under compression, like you. Hoping to install early next week. Note, I have Sport suspension and am lowered with H&R Sport springs.

Speaking of spacers... I'm putting 10mm on my E60 and was wondering if the bolts/lugs lugs comes in black head color to match my front bolts/lugs that came with the R10's. Also, how about wheels locks for the needed extended bolts?

Hey freed0m,
You'll have to paint the lugs. The lugs that I got with my 10mm were silver. I've yet to paint mine.

I haven't looked into wheel locks for the extended lugs. I'm sure that there are some available.
