Hi all,

Has anyone fitted hubcentric spacers to their e89's?

Any pictures? What sizes have you gone for?

I was thinking 12mm front and 15mm or 20mm rear (19" 326 wheels).

Playing with fire to add spacers with upping your tyre profiles & potentially lowering too :cry: rears should take 12/15mm without issue but fronts i wouldn't go over 10mm & even then if you drop you may find that too much :?
 
I know! The tyres are on and they look and feel much better so thank you for your advice :thumbsup:

I'll maybe buy one pair of 10mm spacers for now and have a play!

I would have a play turning full lock both ways & feel with your hand around the tyres , generally it would be the outer edge of the tyre that meets the arch liner on lock or compression
 
I have 12mm on the fronts and a 10" alloy on the rear with the extra 1" giving 12mm a side. Additionally I have the car on Eibachs which drops the front a further 10mm from M Sport suspension.

I believe 10mm spacers wont fit properly as they are not deep enough to grip over the lip of the hub,

Thanks for this! So you're on eibachs in that last pic? I was hoping it would sit slightly lower (and I've just ordered them!!).

How is the ride on the Eibachs? I've just swapped out the run flats for a 235/35 Uniroyal Rainsport 3 up front and 255/35 on the rear so hoping even with Eibachs it will be more comfortable than on run flats.

I might order 12mm spacers and try them on the front, if they fit then I'll order some 15mm for the rears if not I'll just put the 12mm ones on the back and leave it as that.

Thanks guys 👍🏼

Bare in mind the second shot is way below eyelevel almost looking up in to the arch. When looking at the car from a normal viewing height it sits very flush. Ride is fine, felt similar to stock springs. Switching to non run flats made the ride extremely comfortable.
