H&R TRAK+ wheel spacers

[andrewbuch]

Would like to use same as then its cheaper but with either STD suspension or a slight drop so therefore it wont cause rubbing/touching

The the look with the 15's on a thin spacer to cater for future won't be a large improvement though.

Andrew i am currently running 25mm spacers all round with 15" wheels and they are perfect

my guesstimation would be that at 10-15mm spacer should not rub with 245 at the rear... you should be able to go with a 20mm if you running 225 all round, but it is always better to measure if you wan a perfect fit because its very difficult to calculate because different rim sizes mean different sidewall shapes...

I would say 20mm will push the 15" out enough to make it worth while and make 225/17" fit perfect at the back... or touch slightly :fencelook:

 

[andrewbuch]

So 20mm all round would be good for now, so my shopping list grows

Spacers before or after springs?

springs 1st you may decide not to do the spacers once its lowered...

 

[andrewbuch]

But I might want the spacers as well just for the look...

 

[moranor@axis]

when you lowered you might decide larger tires on the back are a good idea if you dont already have the spacers you will have the chance to change your mind

 

[andrewbuch]

Dont know if I want bigger wheels as bigger tires = more $$$

happy with the 15's for now..

would not mind fitting a different tire size on the 15" rim, something that would make acceleration faster

 

[moranor@axis]

wider 15" tires cost the same or more than 17"

15" wheels weigh considerably less than 17" my wheels weigh about 16kg less than oem 17" wheels they say you an multiply rotational savings by 10 so potentially a huge boost to acceleration

What wider? I am running 205 at the moment. Can pick up my-01 for about R1k each

you can get 215 and 225 with a similar profile now go study...

Moranor i'm interested in 10mm spacers but i have a couple of questions :=):

Most after market wheels,well those that i've come across anyway,have a bevelled inner lip.The pic below is the rim that i have on now.Do H&R cater for these bevelled lips?

One more thing i don't understand.The e90's and e92's lip on the hub measures about 12.5 mm if i'm not mistaken.Is it even possible to fit a 10mm on there?

 

[moranor@axis]

my oem wheels have a bevel :fencelook: the H&R spacers are designed to work with oem rims...


12 or 15mm spacers are a better thickness to clear the lip if possible i would fit those...

10mm

12mm

 

[outlaw335]

My oem's don't.I found this H&R 10mm pic on the net and it didn't make sense to me:



But looking at the 10mm you posted that looks perfect.10 + approximately 2mm and then the bevelled 5mm.Should fit like a glove.

Thanks for clearing that up.I'll pm you shortly..

I'm sending my set of 4 spacers back if you don't post a pic.:rollsmile:

 

[moranor@axis]

lol will try get it clean this week and take pics

I have seen Miss Sophie (Pre LCI E90 330d) use 15mm spacers in the front on 224/45/17 and 20mm spacers at the rear on 255/40/17. They looks awesome.

Im actually considering the same for my car. Or maybe ill go 15mm all round.
