Hi guys

Does anyone know where I can purchase some wheel spacers for an E34 540i? 10mm required.

I have fitted some Gaz coil overs and the tyre is clashing with the spring. I would need to raise the ride height by about 40mm for them to clear. We have spaced the wheel off by 10mm using some washers which has given the required clearence.

I have 18" Alpina wheels running 235/35/18. Putting some different wheels on with the required offset change would work but would be very expensive!


Any feed back would be gratefully accepted.

I'm in Southampton.

^^^^^ They look like the perfect thing. I have been out and bought some from Halfwits that will do for Le Mans. We sail out at 11pm tomorrow! I'll order some proper ones with the centre spigot and fit 'em when I get back.


Thanks again

Without the spigot matching your hubs/wheels you may get big wheel vibration problems.
