The BMW 5×120 wheel spacers are a good idea to improve the wheel style and performance. By enlarging the track width, they add more stability. Since spacers push the rims away, these wheel spacers keep the wheels balanced and prevent them from rubbing against any suspension components. Due to the increased inner wheel clearance, you are less limited to aftermarket brake and wheel options.
Besides, the BMW 5×120 wheel spacers are good for those enthusiasts who want to make their cars look cooler and more aggressive. In summary, as long as you keep the offset right (no rubbing) and install them properly (no misalignment), you can use high-quality BMW 5×120 wheel spacers without problems. In this post, we’ll examine the safe sizes and top brands.
What Sizes Are BMW 5×120 Wheel Spacers?
Suspension Clearance:
The thickness of the spacer needs to be carefully measured to ensure there is enough clearance without pushing the wheel too far out. To prevent any rubbing issues, make sure you have enough fender clearance.
- 3mm to 10mm: Solves rubbing issues for a big brake kit while keeping OEM-like wheel stance.
- 12mm to 20mm: Idea for a modest wheel style. They start to deliver better ride quality.
- 25mm to 35mm: Allows for sports absorbers and coilovers which improves handling.
- 40mm to 50mm: Suitable for serious enthusiasts who intend to complete a wide-body build.
Wheel Offset:
Technically speaking, the 10mm wheel spacers are approximately -10mm offsets. The lower the offset, the more your wheel will sit further away from the suspension. To safely use BMW 5×120 wheel spacers, make sure the wheel offset is correct.
What are the Torque Specs for BMW 5×120 Wheel Spacers?
The REFERENCE torque specs for BMW 5×120 wheel spacers are 103.5 lb-ft (140 Nm) for M14 bolts and 83.3 lb-ft (113 Nm) for M12 bolts. 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.
Where to Buy the Best BMW 5×120 wheel Spacers?
