Eibach Wheel spacers for my Zed

[OlivierH]

Hi All,

After reading many emails here, I am about to order spacers 20mm for rear and 15 mm for front, for my Z4 E85 3.0, with 108 wheels



I was about to order same spacers as Bin,
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300740229297?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D300740229297%26_rdc%3D1

But I willl go to Eibach spacers since I have found excellent prices !! (-38%)
According to Eibach website : the references for my zed are :

S90-2-15-001 : Price 69 Euros
S90-7-20-010 : Price 90 Euros

For the front, I also need to order bolts, I will measure the ones I have on the current wheels, and order new bolts with 15 mn extra.

Any comment on my choice, reasoning for computing the front bolt lenght?

Thanks !!

Well, wanted to remove the bolt from the wheel, not able to do it !! no crank in the trunck !!! lol ..
Is it hidden somewhere?

I may be wrong but I don't believe there is one in the car, as all cars were supplied with runflats I believe!

 

[OlivierH]

I need to order one at BMW then .. yes Mike46, you are right, I have got RFT, and nothing to remove wheels ..

When checking the 20 mm and 15 mm spaces on my car, I have also measured height of my Zed .. 60 mm !!!!! :? I am very surprised

Wheel brace should be in the toolkit pouch near the battery under the boot floor.

I have 15mm rear and 12mm front spacers with 108s and think it looks right without any hint of chav? I think 20mm on the rear is ok too with most wheels but 15mm on the front may be pushing it as I have had scuffing issues with my arch liners on the front with 12mm.

If you are buying spacers from a supplier who does not know and does not supply the correct oversize bolts for your car with the spacers then personally I would take my business elsewhere anyway. Otherwise just pop one out measure it and add the depth of the spacer.

15mm rear with 108s...

Thanks very much for your feedback GreyZed ... I have spent some time today measuring my Zed .. and ..well, lets say I hesitate now with your set up 12mm/15 mm ..
How low your car is?

 

[GreyZed]

I am on the standard M Sport suspension that was fitted to 3.0 Zeds.

Personally I would go 15 or 20 on the rear and maybe 10 on the front if you can get them.

I have not measured the clearance on my Zed but here are a few more pics to compare with yours...

It looks great GreyZed, what spacer brand you have? May I ask you where you have ordered them?
