Looking for wheel spacers, and questions.
Looking to get spacers for my wheels, 10mm for rear, and what do people usually run in the fronts on stock wheels?
Where's a good place to order from, and would i need new lug bolts?
Thanks!

10mm is good for the rear don't know how much other people are running in the front.
You can contact Evosport, ACGSD, or RPM North for the spacers and lugs.

The only problem with spacers is that they are an absolute B&TCH to remove... even if you use anti-seize they can be near impossible to get off the hub. I used spacers on my M3 for a while and then decided it just was not worth the headache and bought wheels with better offsets. If you use spacers, prep the hubs VERY well and use a little anti-seize paste on the hub lip only... otherwise, forget about ever getting them off the car

I have used 5mm spacers twice in BMWs and got four turns with the OE lug bolts. I definitely recommend getting the appropriate length lug bolt equal to the spacer width...look and see for yourself how little four turns is on a lug bolt and think if you'll feel safe doing that. FWIW I used 10mm spacers on my M Coupe and like gthal states, they are not coming off easily, if at all, even after using anti-sieze as well as a Dremel to polish everything prior to installation. If you're planning on switching between OE and aftermarket wheels I wouldn't bother trying spacers.

Im thinking about doing the same thing with the stock 18s to get them flush. What is the price on a set of spacers and bolts?
