CT5-V BW Wheel spacers

[Slick53]

Is anyone running wheel spacers on the 5bw? If so, what size and are you combining it with some lowering springs?

Good question, I'm actually dropping mine next week after I put all my Carbon Fiber on to Swift R springs and was wondering if it was going to look like off without spacers? Hopefully we can get some pics and Info.

Did you do lowering springs? How's it look?

I did, and they look really good not to aggressive and didn't really compromise the ride. I also had the magnetic suspension recalibrated. All my freinds love the stance.

Did you figure anything out with wheel spacers? I want to do springs and spacers but not sure on the spacer sizing.

I run 10 MM up front and 5 Mm in the rear.

I didn't go with any spacers, because the fitment was perfect. Also I have a set of Aftermarket wheels being made.

Which brand did you go with and are they hubcentric? Assuming it was a kit with new extended lugs/nuts?

I'm super spoiled coming from the world of BMWs, where you just get extended lug bolts for any spacer you want, and they're always hubcentric. Wondering how difficult a job it is to knock out the factory studs and press new ones in.

Any spacers?

Nope just the springs and OEM wheels. I posted a few pics a few post ago, so people could see the fitment.

Are you on lowering springs as well? Can you share some pics?

Any updates or more photos?

I have not been able to find any hub centric spacers that will fit the 5BW. Still looking but bolt on items like this seem to be very rare for this particular car. Anyone else have any luck?

 

[5VBW Nick]

The BMW approach with lug bolts is much easier for sure.

 

[Slick53]

Totally agree. I just sold an M5 and I had done spacers and springs. The springs were a little tough in the rear but the spacers were easy peasy.

Just find any 5x120 spacers, just gotta find some with 66.9mm hub bore. Plenty in Ebay and dont run anything thicker than 8mm if theyre slip ons, stock studs are barely gonna be holding on beyond that.

Anyone else care to share any experiences or pics with spacers on stock wheels?

Bueller?? Gotta be someone with info/pics/sources for spacers?
