Pic Req: your M68's with spacers - Page 3

djnekkon · 07-17-2010, 09:53 PM

Almost a year with this set up, no problem during winter time, no aligment or drivetrain components so far..

25mm rear
Switched from 12mm to 15mm front (Stav 15mm)
tires: 225 all around on OEM 68's

Keepin' it alive!

I just bought some 10 or 12 mm spacers from a friend at work. I'll post pics this week.

so I cant think of the tire sizes right now but if i wanted to have my 68's nearly-flush what size spacers do i need to run?

DTMdan · 09-21-2010, 06:20 PM

Depends on your tire sizes and drop...

Hope they aren't 10's.

Zach McAfee · 09-22-2010, 04:00 PM

I just picked them up - I got two 15mm spacers, so I'll put them in the rear. I also got the BavAuto camber kit for the rear. That will help pull the top of the wheel back out where it should be.

Zach McAfee · 09-23-2010, 07:55 AM

Here are some crappy cell phone pics on the way into work.

15mm rear spacers. I'll need something up front eventually, but if I don't sell my spare rear tires I might run a square 8.5" setup. So, I'll wait till then and see what size spacers I need up front.

Hopefully my camber correction kit will bring out the rear a bit more.

A note about 10mm spacers: Any 10mm spacer is considered a custom fitment. The stock hubcentric lip on BMWs can stick out by as much as 11mm. This leaves a gap between the spacer and the hub which seriously compromises safety. We recommend using a larger spacer (12mm and larger do not have this issue) or check that the lip sticks out less than 10mm.

It's not that big of a deal, but I'd go with 12's just for that extra comfort.

DTMdan · 09-23-2010, 11:20 AM

Ah okay... well I had H&R 10mm & 20mm spacers before and I know that there is less lip on the 10mm spacer but it never gave me any problems.

15mm front? Or did you reverse that?

Gheybe · 09-23-2010, 12:46 PM

Only picture I have on my phone right now. I'll go outside and take a few shots after work.
15mm rear, and I have 12 in the front.

This is a shot of the rear, on Eibach Sportline suspension.

(yes, I know the idiots put the wheel weights on the outside. Trust me. I know it's there.)

It's 15mm front. I have that spacer setup for my regular wheels, and just left them on when I ran the m68s temporarily. I need the 15mm to clear the bbk, and I run the 12mm just to look a little better lol

BMW_Matt · 09-23-2010, 01:51 PM

What size tires are in the front and back?
