Ok. Going to highlight my stupidity here.
There's no mention of these spacers fitting a Z4 Roadster or am I wrong.

Hopefully I am.
I have 19 inch on stock suspension and was wondering if you would PM me your recommendations with costs.

Thanks for your help

We would recommend 15inch spacers on the OEM 17 rims for a flush look.
We have to order these. 12 Days waiting from day of order. An order is going out on Tuesday if you interested. Will PM a price.

Hi Twinz

Great, would you recommend 15mm for the front as well?
Please send through pricing when possible, very keen on a set.

Thanks

Measured the distance from my wheel to inside the arch.

On paper the gap seems smaller than it looks.

Front 10mm
Rear 15mm

Maybe 10 and 12mm on the rear will be best? (or prehaps I need to measure again)

10mm would be more than enough. A spacer serves three purposes.
1. To provide a wider track/stance
2. To give a more flush look especially on lowered vehicles
3. To improve handling/stability at the wheels

I have found that 10mm meets 1 & 3 and a bigger spacer does not really add more. If you go to wide with the spacer then you may end up with fender rubbing which creates another issue.

If you want a really sharp flush look then you need to measure accurately. However, BMWs like a little negative camber in the back for better cornering and a "flush" look is not the goal neither important.

So it depends what you want to achieve with the spacer.

Great thanks Twinz, 10mm will be perfect.

Main aim is a slightly wider stance, flushed look not essential just an improvement required.

When you have the price please let me know, I`m very keen.

I'm after a more flush look on my car, without compromising too much on handling. So far I'm thinking:

12mm for Front
15mm for Rear

Please advise. I have non Msport E90 dropped with an Eibach ProKit using 17" Narrow and Wide Msport wheels.

Tyres atm are:

Front - 225/45/17
Rear - 245/40/17 (This could be changed soon to 255/40/17)

Please PM price as well.

Thnx

Good thread indeed, I have a 525i E60, just bought 18 inch Rims.
I Was thinking of fitting
10 mm Front
15 mm rear

Would this work?

How much will this cost and where can I source them?

Can't wait to see them 18s on da Beemer....:flyfun:

It should work if the 18s are OEM spec rims. Wait for the rims to be fitted and then post a pic here...that should give us an idea. You can PM me or Revo if you interested.

I had a look at mine and also figured those sizes would work. Fronts are fairly flush but rear not at all. 18" oem m sport rims.

I concur, 10mm in front is the max i would push out, and the rear might handle a bit more, but 15mm is def a safe bet. Also on the m-sport 18's
