Who makes wheel spacers for the e89?
Thinking about getting some. Want to know what the max size I can get running stock 19 inch rims and 235/265 Michelin PSS tires.
Who make suitable ones? |

I have 12mm spacers on my rears with standard 18" x 8.5" rims. With the 265 tyres, this is the max that I would go without changing to wider rims. Mine are BMS. Any spacer for 135 235 335 BMW will fit.
I find this setup looks good with the front wheel standard offset. |

I have some Turner Motorsport 10mm spacers up front and 15mm H&R spacers out back for my stock 17x8 style 290 wheels. Definitely looks a little better than the original since it's also lowered on H&Rs.

Thx for the link Samiti.
Looks like 10mm front and rear max with Michelin 235/265 tires (which are a wider fitment also) will work. There is a plastic bead strip in the rear arches that is my concern...looks like the tire will touch it if you go over 10mm. Here are some more spacers I found - lightweight ones too: https://www.sonicms.net/index.php?ro...product_id=443 and https://www.sonicms.net/index.php?ro...product_id=305 Both look like the best quality available for our cars.

Mmmm tried my best to take more measurements today. Really hard to identify how much the rear suspension compresses stock. Concerned about that rubber beading just inside of the bodywork. Even with 10mm spacers and 265 Michelin PSS I reckon it may touch at full compression....

I also have 35is with 326M wheels and 235 and 265 Michelin PS4S tires lowered to 1 finger gap on KWv3.
Installed BMS 12mm on rears. There is a slight rub on tire and arch plastic. I think If I raise suspension a bit i can do 15mm too. 12mm doesnt feel like I even installed spacers, only minor improvement. Most likely I'll move 12mm to front and 15mm rears.

Update: Put 15mm on rear and 12mm on front
Rear rubbed a lot and cracked the plastic underneath cover in minutes before I could get home and fix it. but front is all good. Love the look for the car now.
