Installing Wheel Spacers // BMW E90

Today on JD Cars I show you how to select the proper size spacer and how to correctly install them on your car. Spacers may only move the wheels out less than an inch, but they can make an incredible difference in the car's appearance.
25mm Ubertechnic Spacers: amzn.to/2rSINvK
50mm Lug Bolts (10): amzn.to/2qYyFBA
15mm Hubcentric Spacers: amzn.to/2rWKozP

Adding spacers also gets rid of a rainy day!

[@lowkey4026]

Good video. Explaining about hubcentric size and even about checking on the hubs and wheels is great for those unaware of the potential issues of them not sitting nicely. Great job.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

Got to love a black E90. Some real bargains out there

[@DaveSmith-vi7lz]

Just bought my second black E90👍

[@billleskeep2033]

Good presentation, straight-forward, clear and good visuals. I wish you had waited until the rain stopped though, I got focused on how cold and wet it was! I want to do this with both of my vehicles, 2006 Z4 Roadster and 2009 328xi sport wagon. Both have the stock wheels which for both are pretty wide in themselves. You're correct, the wheels need to be brought out just to provide that more aggressive stance. I'll be checking back to take notes for my spacer fit a bit later.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I agree, even the smallest difference in spacing greatly improves the appearance!

[@darrenbrown7568]

I recommend applying anti seize paste on the surface of the new spacer that touches the wheel hub, this is to prevent the new spacers seizing onto the hub at a later date ☹️

Love my wheel spacers 🙌🏻👍🏻

[@JDCarsChannel]

They make a huge difference!

[@BMWFanatic]

JD Cars indeed! Best mod I did 4 years ago 👍🏻

[@NourHummadi]

do the spacers add any sort of vibration too the car?

[@JDCarsChannel]

Only a very very slight vibration at high speeds...nothing crazy

[@maycolgomez7982]

Should I do the same 25mm as u did to urs I have the e90 328i 2007

[@beardsbrewsbmws6434]

Hey! I would have ordered the wheels in the right offset if I was already investing money in a new set! At least consider switching to a stud and nut conversion to improve clamping force and safety! I explain it in my very first video.

[@Tracks777]

Great content. Keep it up!

[@E55BaeMG]

looks a bit awkward as the tires are not wide enough lol maybe its just me

[@brandonmedina1658]

did you have any rubbing issues? My son has a 07 335i and he wants to put spacers on. I measured and I can run 15 front and 25 rear. I have read on some forums that some people have rubbing issues. Our car is not lowered.

[@Tricky_86]

I ordered some wheel spacers for my 335i the other day 20m for the back 15m for the front.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Sweet!

[@Jo5e909]

Hey dude been thinking about running the same 20mm on my rear and 15mm on my fronts. Any issues with the tires rubbing fenders bro? Or should I go with 15mm on rear and 12mm on fronts

[@dodjie42]

Nice video! Whats the size of your rims?

[@AngloSaxonVanguard]

I don't want to be pedantic but it looks a bit odd seeing M-sport colours on a non M-sport (SE) car. But great video. I'm looking to get some spacers on my E90 335d very soon so this video was good to watch.

I need help i need to measure for wheel spacer because im changing the rins on my BMW with a different set of bmw rims the issue is the rims rub on my brake calipers and sit to far in how doni figure out how far need to bring them out to sit where the old rims would sit.

[@Mr77Trojan]

Is it recommended to use the measurements you used here or have you lowered your car in the past. Thanks

[@JDCarsChannel]

This video was prior to my lowering the car

[@kossimensah5007]

Quick question. Does winter tires make lot of noise compare to regular tire? I have installed snow tires on my 17" and have been experiencing lot of noise as well as vibration when braking. Have you ever experienced such? Thanks

[@JDCarsChannel]

Yes. Winter tires typically make more road noise

[@edburkhammer]

A tad noisy but if your cars not stock quiet you won't notice. You WILL notice a much softer ride with no stud winter tires. Balance and tight suspension play the biggest part. I have Altimax Arctic 12 for snow and love them. 18's with off sets year round. 08 335xi

hi, ive just put some 18 inch mv1 staggered bmw alloys on my 2007 320d m sport, with 235/40/18 tires front and 245/40/18 rear , the alloys are 8 inch front and 8.5 rear. offset is 47 front and 50mm rear, can you advise me if 20mm will be ok , i will be going back to the 225 and 255 tires in time so dont want to use too bigger spacers, my old OE alloys offset were 34 and 37 , can you help , cheers colin

[@tsenre101]

How was it driving on these? Are you sensing any vibrations? Especially on high speeds?

[@JDCarsChannel]

Drives smooth... no big vibrations!

[@minodorstefan9933]

Nice headlights!! Where did you bought them from? Thanks

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks! Those are my old lights which I purchased on eBay, but they have been discontinued.

[@Fxmouszion]

If I get 25mm for front and back would tht be okay

[@randmshyt]

how stable are the spacers on the car, do you feel much difference, especially when spirited driving

[@JDCarsChannel]

The difference is minimal but noticeable...it feels a bit more stable. Also they are very smooth - no vibration.

[@user-gg7zt1ml3j]

Hey Bro, these spacers are universal and what size is it, how many centimeters thick is it?

[@aryapujasmara]

how many mm did you put on front and rear?

[@AliGKICKBOXING]

Do you have to do rear and front as well

[@stevewmb98]

Can you tell me if you had to roll the fenders? Or if you have a problem hitting potholes?

[@JDCarsChannel]

I did not have to roll the fenders... no problems so far

[@bontz1999]

Do you want to make a m3 look or maybe a video "how to install m3 look exhaust"?

[@JDCarsChannel]

I would like dual exhaust...but it would cost about $500 which isn't worth it to me.

[@bigplupo1943]

I have a 2007 328xi I was going to get 15mm for front and 20mm for the back but would you suggest I do 25mm in the back instead my car isn’t lowered or anything.

[@gonzomax111]

i bought 20mm for rear in my 2006 320d and its not enough, go with 25 mm at least

Depends on your wheels, but I found 25mm worked best for me

Hello, I just installed the Eonon GA7165 and there is absolutely no audio. Im wondering if theres a solution. It could be my battery (pretty much dead and charging it now) but everything else works fine besides the audio. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks.

[@JDCarsChannel]

That's really strange...what audio source are you using?

[@mlidie]

Torque spec? I’ve been reading many say 88, 90, 100, 103, 120 nm. I’d think 90 is “safe”? I’ve got an e90 2010. Can’t find a torque spec sheet online that’s specific to all torque figures and the manual doesn’t provide this. Thanks!

What model is your BMW? I have an 06 330i and it looks almost identical to your car but my wheels came wider and my wheel gap from the fender is the lowest I've ever seen for stock so these sizes wouldn't work for me...
