Help me find wheel spacers for my 704m wheels

northern.340i · 01-16-2019, 07:34 AM

I bought an 2018 BMW 340i a month ago. At the moment, I am running my winter wheels setup, but I am slowing preparing for the summer.

The car came with some BMW 704m summer wheels.
Front Wheels: 8x19 ET36
Rear Wheels: 8.5x19 ET47

I will be lowering the car on some H&R sport springs and would like to add some wheel spacers for a flush look.

I was looking to put 12mm in the front and 15mm on the rear wheels.

1) What do you think about the wheel spacers width? Anyone else running spacers on similar wheels? Don't hesitate to post pictures!

2) What wheel spacers do you suggest to buy? I was looking at:

BMW Spacers: http://www.burgertuning.com/BMW_wheel_spacers.html
ECS Spacers: http://www.burgertuning.com/BMW_wheel_spacers.html
H&R Spacers: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-h-and-r-...ir/3075726~hr/

It looks like the H&R spacers don't come with the bolts.
Any other better brand?

3) What about my current wheel lock? Will I be able to reuse the same or I need a longer one?

Subbed. I'm looking for spacers on my '14 335i xDrive as well. I'm leaning towards 12mm front and 15mm rear as well. I believe the minimum spacer that can be run on the rear is 12mm due to the rear factory hub being too tall.

Anyone?

This guy just installed some BMS spacers. 20mm in the rear and 15mm in the front.

It's looking goood!

Most good spacers are aircraft grade aluminum and are hubcentric. As long as those parameters are met, I don't think any one brand has a huge advantage over another.

As far as wheel locks, you'll need extended ones. OEM locks probably won't give you the number of full turns required. Pretty sure ECS/Turner sells em.

I’m running macht schnell’s on my f34. There made of high grade aluminum, hubcentric, plus they come with hardware

15mm/front
20mm/rear

Anyone else?

I have the staggered 19s on an m sport 440 and after looking at the video above I think Ill go with 12mms all around. Btw that blue car is exactly mine but I have the gloss black 704 rims.
Right now they sit about 1/2" inside, so I think 15s and 20s are a tad too much.
Im also going to be replacing the oem run flats with with +1 replacement non rf's.
Thanks for the pictures.
