Front/Rear spacers

[Patrick]

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

These guys (Peter pointed this site out to me) have a selection of spacer options for the E30:

Extra Wide:

Not so wide:

They look very good quality to me from the pictures on the site

Stuart/Patrick,
Those seem to be a good price!

I was looking at these........

http://www.ompracing.it/prodotti.htm...ngelanguage=en

which you can get from Rally Design........

http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog...oducts_id=4734

for £36.50.

My front wheels rub on the wishbones on full lock, so I may need to put some thin ones on the front but I will wait until I get the mudgaurds fitted to be sure.

regards

Peter

Another source of spacers:

Eibach this time, they have a nice selection of sizes and the prices are a lot better than the needforspeed ones.

EDIT:

more: http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pag...sub_category=1

Also http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pag...y=wheelspacers

EDIT, doh they are per axel width so 30mm = 15mm per side...

EDIT 2:

Also put an enquiry in with these guys:

http://www.performancealloys.com/all...el_spacers.asp

[Patrick]

I've ordered the DRA ones from http://www.performancealloys.com/ they came to £105 inc vat & postage which was big chunk cheaper than the needforspeed ones

Very quick response to my email enquiry too, so far good service!

[Patrick]

I got them today, they are made by H&R and the quality looks excellent. I'll post some piccy's later!

[Patrick]

Well here they are:



And on the car:

[peterux]

They look really nice!

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