Installing M340i wheel spacers is one of the first steps to improving your car’s appearance and performance. Car wheel spacers can push the wheels and tires out a few millimeters. They essentially increase the track width. A wider track allows for better grip and traction, hence improving the driving experience.
Another perk of adding M340i wheel spacers is that they will give your vehicle a more aggressive and powerful look. By moving the whole wheels further out, they prevent the rims or tires from rubbing against the brake calipers, inner wheel arches, shock absorbers, and other parts. In this post, we will list the critical steps of torquing M340i wheel spacers.
What are the Torque Specs for M340i Wheel Spacers?
The REFERENCE torque specs for M340i wheel 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 M340i Wheel Spacers?
If you have basic mechanical proficiency, you can install M340i wheel spacers yourself and save money. It is not difficult and some experienced people can complete it within an hour.
- Park the vehicle on level ground. Turn off the engine, and pull up the handbrake. Make sure that the surrounding environment of the vehicle is safe and free from interference.
- Loosen the wheel bolts with a lug wrench in a star pattern (a special socket will be needed if you are using locking wheel bolts).
- Use a jack to lift the vehicle, and keep the tires 20mm away from the ground. Place a tripod on the bottom of the vehicle to ensure safety.
- Remove the wheel bolts and the wheels. It is a good chance to clean the axle hub. Use rust remover and sandpaper and other tools to clean the rust, debris.
- Place the spacer onto the hub, ensuring it sits flush and aligns with the hub assembly.
- Pro tips: It is recommended to use a wheel hanger to locate the wheel holes.
- Carefully reinstall the wheel, tightening the wheels with extended wheel bolts.
- Lower the vehicle back onto the ground.
- Using a torque wrench to tighten the wheel bolts in a star or criss-cross pattern to the manufacturer’s recommended torque specifications.
- Repeat the process for the remaining wheels.
Who Sells the Best M340i Wheel Spacers?
