Help with spacers?

Alberfb88 · 02-21-2019, 12:00 PM

Looking after spacers for my e90 330i pre lci saloon. Have 19 Tyrus Cades wheels which I love but the wheels specially the rear look too far inside the car.

They are front 8x5 offset 38 (not too sure about the offset) 235/35/19

Rear 9x5 offset 38 (again not sure on this) 255/35/19

car is lowered on springs. I was thinking of 12mm front 20mm back spacers but not sure if it would be a bit too much. Tried searching the forum and could not find what I am looking for.
Many thanks

this is useless without knowing the offset.. take the wheels off and look on the inside of the spokes.

Confirmed 38 offset. I think 15 mm will definetely fit rear and probably 20mm but just wanted some advise if someone has similar sizes. Thanks

Dude here rubs with et27 which would mean u have et38 -12 =et26 that would be using a 12mm spacer and not a 15mm.. 15mm spacer would give u et23? I take it ur wheels are 9.5 wide? And 12mm for the front is fine.

I think he rubs because he has an Lci. Mine being a pre lci can fit 8mm more. So his 12mm would be like me having a 20mm spacer. I think i might give 18mm in rhe rear a try. Cheers

My e92 is lowered on coilovers with rear camber of -1.8. I had some 12mm spacers in the rear and rubbed like crazy, with 17x9et30 and Hankook Ventus RS4 255/40/17. So careful with those 20mm spacers on an et38 with a 19x9. The RS4 sun wide for a 255 tho.

Just got some 5mm spacers for the rear and there is no rubbing

his is a pre lci also. It's just trial and error really....his is quite a bit lower on them springs he has so a 15mm might be ok for u...maybe even 18mm....it's up to u.

Oh my bad. Will properly measure tonight. I can stick 2 fingers in wothout a problem between the arch and the tyre thats why i was thibking that maybe 20mm would be fine. But i will measure properly before buying any spacers. Thanks for the help
