The F80 spacers are useful components for wheel fitment. For example, proper wheel spacers allow you to put some nice aftermarket wheels on your vehicle even if the offset doesn’t fit. Wheel spacers essentially increase the distance from the wheel center to the vehicle hub flange, hence reducing wheel offset. The lower the wheel offset you achieve, the more the wheels will stick out the fender flares.
In some cases, a larger offset rim can be fitted under the guard by adjusting the wheel offset. This enlarges the options of wheel and tire combinations. To ensure safety, wheels have to fit on the car without contacting any brake, fender line, or suspension parts. That is why people use F80 spacers to push the wheels outward for a safe configuration as well as a more aggressive appearance.
What is the Torque Spec for BMW F80 Spacers?
The REFERENCE torque spec for BMW F80 spacers is 103.5 ft-lbs (140 Nm). For some wheels or applications, you may need more or less tightening torque. So, it’s best to consult a tire specialist to ensure the exact torque spec before operating.
How to Properly Install BMW F80 Spacers?
It is important to properly install your BMW F80 spacers, so they can perform well and stay safe in daily driving or racing. Here are some key factors:
Use a Torque Wrench:
It is recommended to use a good torque wrench to tighten the F80 spacers to proper torque specs. Set the torque wrench to the manufacturer’s recommended value. Then simply turn the wrench handle until it reaches the torque mark.
Correct Torque Specs:
Start threading the hardware by hand, then use the torque wrench to tighten spacer wheel bolts in a crisscross sequence. When the wheel bolts are properly torqued down, you will feel a click around the head of the wrench. Don’t trust an impact gun can settle everything down.
Re-torque F80 Spacers:
It is crucial to re-torque your new wheel spacers after the first 50 to 100 driving miles. Then, just re-torque them every routine tire maintenance. By torquing each wheel bolt to the proper torque specification, your new wheel spacers will safely function.
