For previous posts answers:
- I only sell and use H&R or Eibach since they are German companies and made in Germany.
There are other cheaper brands either made in USA with unknown origin of material or pure made in China. It is your life, I personally would either do it right or don't do it at all.
- Wheel lug bolts torque wise, I believe BMW recommend 105lb/ft. With Spacer, I add extra 10lb/ft, which brings it to 115lb/ft.
Don't worry it is not as much as some noobs that work at the dealer and crank the crap out of the impact gun.
I have seen many cars serviced by reputable dealership, yet their lug bolts are overtorqued.

Im about to take mine off if the winter wheels I ordered don't seat correctly .

I'll try to post pics before and after.

Installed 15 mm H&R spacers with extended bolts.

FIRESTARTER · 12-17-2018, 09:32 AM

Installed.

arciga18 · 12-17-2018, 10:13 AM

Looks mean.

RichM50d · 12-17-2018, 11:55 AM

If you could do it again, would you change the rears to 12mm?

I like it the way it is, from the pics it looks very flush but l think 17 mm spacers for the rear would be perfect to line up with the top fender.

I actually think the front wheels look fine standard. Rear wheels do look tucked though.

Hi there,

It is the best.
I have sold at least 100 sets every year.
Even personally using it for my Porsche, even on track wheel setup.

The overall quality as well as fit and finish are excellent plus it is lighter and has a higher tensile strength than 6061-T6 billet aluminum, these are the only spacers I will ever run.

B-52Gunner · 12-20-2018, 10:26 AM

Thanks for the info. I think I may purchase some in the near future.

OttoMobilia · 12-27-2018, 10:54 PM

could someone that has done h&r spacers 15mm all around preferably with the oe 21in wheels post a pic of how it looks installed behind the wheel? I’m curious as to if the diameter of the spacer matches the diameter of the back side of the wheel. Just to see how clean of a look it might be...if this makes sense.

Thanks!

Great question actually.

I can tell you that the diameter was perfect on the 19s. I don't have a picture on my phone .

Part of the reason I took off the h &r spacers when I mounted my winter set is that there was a color difference (black wheels vs silver spacer ). And the diameter of the spacer was too big for my aftermarket wheels. It looked dumb.

I'm sure someone with the 21s will report back soon.
