Installing BMW rim spacers is one of the first steps to improving your car’s appearance and performance. Wheel spacers are engineered to clear bigger wheels and tires, and in some cases, aftermarket brake calipers. By pushing the wheels outwards, the BMW rim spacers increase the track width.
The wider track width gives your car a better wheel style and appealing stance. In this wheel fitment guide, we’ll cover our research and development data and countless fitment tests to help you find the perfect set of BMW wheel spacers.
Best BMW Rim Spacers Top Pick Sizes
Thickness:
- 3mm to 10mm: Ideal for those who just a little bit of clearance to fit a big brake kit.
- 12mm to 20mm: Good for achieving a flush stance while improving the ride quality.
- 25mm to 35mm: Allows for fitting bigger rims and wider tires without rubbing issues.
- 40mm to 50mm: Used for completing a wide-body build, offering a nicer look.
Check Wheel Offset:
Determine your current wheel offset and calculate the difference from the desired offset. Generally, a 10mm wheel spacer will reduce about 10mm offset. The less the offset, the more the wheels will stick out from the vehicle hub assembly.
Bolt Pattern (PCD):
Figuring out the correct bolt pattern (PCD) of BMW rim spacers is the first thing when researching and shopping for wheel spacers. For example, the BMW iX3 G08 (2020-2025): PCD=5x112mm, CB=66.5mm, Thread=M14x1.25mm.
Best BMW Rim Spacers Installation Tips
Installing BMW rim spacers is not difficult and some experienced people can complete it within an hour.
- Remove the wheels;
- Clean the vehicle hub;
- Properly torque wheel spacers;
- Remount the wheels.
Test drive, recheck the torque.
