The BMW rim spacers are car accessories that add more inner wheel clearance. Whether you upgrade to wider tires or bigger performance brakes, keeping the backspacing correct will avoid most rubbing issues. By increasing the track width, the contact points of tires are expanded, which results in more stability and smoothness.
An electric car with perfect handling gives satisfaction to the driver and makes the drive safe and enjoyable. For most enthusiasts, these BMW rim spacers are the easiest and most cost-effective way to get a more aggressive stance. With so many options available, what BMW wheel spacers are best? In this post, we will explore the safe sizes and top brands.
Best BMW Rim Spacers for i5 Size Chart
Thickness:
- 3mm to 10mm: Provides a subtle change. Ideal for fitting a big brake kit while keeping OEM-like style.
- 12mm to 20mm: Provides a perfect flush stance for the BMW i5 while improving the ride quality.
- 25mm to 35mm: Provides a wider track to enhance stability and rollover resistance.
- 40mm to 50mm: Provides more clearance to fit a wide-body kit without rubbing issues.
Bolt Pattern (PCD):
Figuring out the correct bolt pattern (PCD) of BMW i5 is the first thing when researching and shopping for wheel spacers. For example, the BMW i5 G60 (2023-2025): PCD=5x112mm, CB=66.5mm, Thread=M14x1.25mm.
Correct Offset:
Wheel spacers reduce the offset. For example: if the 2025 BMW i5 stock wheel offset is +46mm, then a 15mm spacer will make the final offset +31mm. Make sure the wheel offset is correct especially you switch to aftermarket wheels.
Do I Need Longer Wheel Bolts for BMW Rim Spacers?
Yes, you need extended wheel bolts for BMW 3mm to 20mm spacers. For example, assume the OEM bolt length is 27mm, if you add a 12mm spacer, you need 39mm wheel bolts for a safe installation.
