Adding 15mm spacers only to the rear wheels of the E60 to make the gaps similar to the ones in the front.

Thanks for video. I bought a used E60 with BMW 128 Style wheels in 19". Installing coilovers and no info on what size spacers. Seeing your setup helped... Much appreciated... Peace...

Hey, i recently acquired the same car wuth the same wheels and was searching for spacers and came across your video. First of all, thanks for making the video, 2 things. So I see you went one bigger profile for the rears (35 instead of 30) and honestly, they look better, the 30s are like rubberbands lol. Have you driven your car fully loaded with passengers and luggage? Does it scrape or bottom out on harder dips?

7:15 Looks like the front could use 5mm. I think that would make front and back even more balanced. But as far as I know, 5mm spacers don't come as hubcentric, so it would depend on your rims whether or not you'd have enough hub left to safely install the rims.
@aam772 жыл бұрын
5mm ones are not hub centric and I know people who have had wobbly front wheels on these rims.
@omarf24062 жыл бұрын
@@aam77 I know. But like I said: depending on the shape of the inside of the rim, you could be lucky and have enough of the car's hub left for safely mounting the rims. My OPC rims on my Opel Insignia have a 'fase' (Sorry, I don't know the english word) of about 5mm, which means that they only "use" half of the 10mm of the car's hub. So mounting 5mm spacers would not be an option for me.

For the front wheels, did you use the extended wheel lug nuts or the standard origional lug nuts?...as you did not use spacers on the front...
@aam77Ай бұрын
Used the original ones otherwise they would go through the hub. The only caveat is that I have to carry two different unlocking lug nuts. I could get the two spare locking bolts cut but didn't bother.

Any rubbing, it looks like the wheel is stick out a little too much. If you have 2 people in the back it might rub going over bumps.

I've got the 172 Spyder alloys on my E61 and I find that they touch the inner wheel arch liner when the suspension is jacked up and in full droop. They are fine when on the road with no rubbing but I just wondered if you had any similar issues before you fitted the spacers? Originally I had a set of non-BMW 172 style copies and they had a 10mm additional offset but when they got cracked and I bought a set of genuine BMW refurbished wheels, that's when I had this rubbing problem in full droop. Anyway, it sounds like getting 15mm spacers is the way to go and will cure my problem as well as looking much nicer. Thanks for the video.
@aam77 Жыл бұрын
With the genuine Spyder wheels on the correct axles without any spacers shouldn't rub on either side of the arch lining. I didn't have any issues with the spacers, let alone without. I know the e61s have air suspension on the rear wheels. Perhaps those have something to do. I had 4 people in the car with boot full of my son's stuff when dropping him of at his university. While hitting some bumps, I could feel the suspension kind of hitting rock bottom but there was still no rub on either side. That was with the spacers though.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. If the gap between the arch and tyre is similar, then it should be fine.

Where did yo buy the Bimecc spacers from and do they come with the spacers?
@aam774 жыл бұрын
Just do a search on eBay with "bimecc" and the spacer size and your car's model. There are different colour combinations and also locking wheel bolts. You can get silver spacers with silver bolts or all black or mixed. As you can see I went for the silver spacers as the hub is silver and black bolts. They all do come with the extended bolts if that's what you meant by your second question.

@aam773 жыл бұрын
The recommended sizes are 245x35 on the front and 275x30 on the rear. If you go for the ones you mentioned, the profile may be the same due to their width but the width would still be narrow. May give that stretched look buy not sure how good it'd look on these wheels.
