Spacer Size and where to buy

Looking for spacers for the M235

Seems like 12mm front - 15mm rear is most popular

Now where can I get them?

So far I found they need to be 5x120 bolt pattern / 72.5mm center bore
and 14 x 1.25mm bolts

But according to the site neither of this will work

http://www.turnermotorsport.com/show...12-x5m-x6-pair

Also found this but not sure if they would work either

I'm in the selection process also. My Rogue Engineering e92 spacers do not fit.

These say F22 compatible:

So the Burger kit is 12 front, 15 rear and bolts were fine length for proper torque?

Just wanted your confirmation on the above kit? Thanks..

I have h&r 10mm. Hub center should be 72.56mm. Not sure about bolt pattern but they should be the same as f30 and e92 which is 5x120. I have some temporary 1 series wheels on right now until my Forgestars are ready Monday and the front wouldn't clear the brakes so I had to run spacers.

Pictures and all will be up later but just a heads up on how it went. Spacers and springs went on relatively normally. Only issue we ran into was that for the rears with the 15mm spacers the dust cap prevented the spacers from sitting flush. Our solution was to remove the dust cap and put it on the spacer instead with a dot of super glue to keep it from spinning. Other than that went well. Springs will stil settle new but no rubbing yet and have drive a good amount on mixed roads. I don't foresee an issue but love how there looking.

I have 12 front and 15 rear too and the thread lengths of the BMS bolts are approximately 37mm and 41mm.

What did you guys do with the lock nuts?

Here is a link to an AW M235 we installed spacers and springs on.

Lowered on H&R Sport Springs running 15mm Macht Schnell Competition Spacers on all four corners.

Hey Robert,
In your opinion with stock ride height is it better with 12mm or 15mm or does it really matter? With 15mm is there a chance of fender rub during aggressive driving? Getting ready to order and am on the fence with either 12 or 15...I know it is only a 3mm difference

And thanks for the link to the great pictures......

I have stock suspension, 12F and 15R and the clearance to body is massive. No chance of rubbing under heavy load.

I just did h&r springs and 12 in front and 20 in rear and no problems even with track like driving. Should have done 15 in front.

I always get my spacers from PY Speed made by RS Technik.. they are fantastically light.. I have purchased many sets of them run on a myriad of BMWs

http://www.pyspeed.com/RS-Technik-Wh...-p/rs-8015.htm

They sponsor the forum too - just send them a message for special pricing
