Does Burger Motorsports make only black spacers? I'm looking for a pair of 12mm rear spacers to use with my stock 17" Luxury Line wheels

No vibration with a good set of hub-centric spacers... vibration is usually a culprit on non-hub-centric spacers over 3mm thick, as they leave not enough hub lip for the wheel to sit on and stay properly centered.

Also, they may help resolve clearance issues - either wheel to brake, or tire to strut.

What about the potential adverse effects of effectively changing the wheel offset via these hub spacers.....things like scrub radius that can introduce wandering/tramlining and bump steer? A 10mm change in offset, either positive or negative, can meaningfully change the handling & steering characteristics of a vehicle.

Honestly, I don't think offset changes in this range are an issue. BMW specs many of their cars with varying wheel options, some with offsets differing in the same range as the spacers being discussed.

I'm by no means a track day specialist, but, I know, from personal experience.....when I switched from a stock 45mm offset to a 38mm offset on my G35, to accommodate a wider BBS wheelset and clear the upper suspension arm, I greatly corrupted the steering. The worst attribute was the exacerbation of bump steer on a vehicle that was already prone to mild bump steer in stock suspension geometry form. It was scary at times when bumps through corners would cause the car to move sideways off the intended steering line in a meaningful way. In any event, the idea isn't to debate indefinitely, but rather, to share experiences. |

wheel spacers by BMS
I'm probably late to post, but I got the wheel spacers by BMS. 10mm front and 18mm on the rear. My car has the BMW 624M wheels 20" with no issues. I regret not getting the 20mm I pleanty of room for 20mm .

Sorry to bring this up again but APEX 12mm spacers do not fit on the rear. I purchased them after looking through this post but they do not fit flush. Just an FYI. See pics below.
First pic, spacer on the rear. Second pic, pushing top of spacer. Third pic, pushing bottom of spacer. |

my rear wheel hub lip measures 12.7 - 12.8 mm so now i need to find 12 - 13 mm spacers that can clear that looks like the H&R 13mm and the ECS 12mm spacers fit the bill
