Front/Rear spacers
Out of interest what size spacers are you running?
I think we'll need some quite big ones at the back and none at the front.

I happened to be down at Marlin this week and Mark showed me some spacers he has developed specifically for E30. They alter offset to allow a larger choice of wheel fitment.I'm very tempted to get some.It may be worth calling him.

Do you know if they are just an offset change? There is quite a good selection of spacers and hub centric spacer available on for the tunning market. I've actually got a set of 4 to 5 stud adapters but I've decided to stick with the 4 stud for now.
I might give him a call and see what they are all about

They look really nice!
I like the idea of standard length bolts as those long ones used with some spacers look a bit dodgy.
