Questions about spacers

gutus · 12-23-2022, 02:34 PM

Hello,

I’m planning on running H&R 10mm spacers all around. Suspension will be Bilstein b16 and oem style 224 wheels. From what I’ve read, 10mm spacers are fine, but will I need hub extenders for the fronts?

Thanks

Quality spacers will come with an integral hub extender and longer bolts.

No bolts included with those, FYI. The ad does specify that bolts are required.

Thanks, just an example of extended hub.
Have a good day.

The H&R spacers are quite good stuff. I have a set on my E30 M3, and have used then for driving around and 300+ track days.

In the meantime, I found these guys, and use their spacers on my M Coupe track car: https://www.42draftdesigns.com/

Especially, with spacers, forget bolts. Go with studs as they make mounting a piece of cake. Bimmerworld has Italian-made studs which are great. You see the 300+ track days on my M3? Those are all on the same Bimmerworld studs. Nary a failure if you follow the installation instructions and torque your wheels properly.
