BMS or Macht Schnell Spacers

Edogg218 · 11-29-2011, 05:48 AM

The Macht Schnell spacers are $120 each, with the BMS spacers at $100. I've compared them, and can't find any major differences.

Am I missing something?

Spacers are not rocket science. Buy the cheapest well know brand your can find. (BMS)

Please pardon my ignorance, what does the spacer do? Increase the track width to give you a wider stance and some performance gain? But do you have to roll the fender to accomodate the extra width?

honestly? its just a piece of metal. I got H&R's for about 50 bucks/axle

they effectively lower the offset of the wheel. pushing them outward. some do it for the performance benefit, some (myself) do it for looks, to make the wheels sit more flush with the fender. most on spacers do not need to roll their fenders. im running 10mm each side, and im low. no issues.

This is my thinking too...I just want to make sure I avoid one that is not well made. Thanks
