Wheel Spacer Question

**stylesx** · 04-21-2008 09:13 AM

Does anyone know off the bat if spacers from a BMW 330ci would fit an Audi A4 since i have a new set from my previous car.

Thanks !

If they are cheap universal 5x120 and 5x112 ones they can... Most spacers iv seen for European cars are hub centric and lug centric.

H&R makes a great line of spacers we don't sell. You may want to give them a call @ 888-827-8881

We source our spacers from H&R as well.

Sorry for the thread jack...but where can I find longer lugs if I use spacers with stock wheels?

I believe tire rack sells longer lug bolts. Give Doc a ring and im sure he cant help you out. Tirerack doesnt put small items like that on there website.

Yes they actually sell Kits just be careful measuring. Measure twice buy once. I've seen them for about $130.00+ for two wheels (1 Kit) You can even get them in anodized black so they won't be noticeable if that's a concern.

Question for Doc and Charles: Can spacers cause problems with my wheels? I inquired with a local tire company about mounting my new wheels and putting spacers on and they said that they will not do it because "it's not recommended"

Thanks!

We avoid spacers all together (unless provided by the wheel manufacturer for a specific fitment) for liability reasons. Anytime you put something in between the wheel and the hub there is potential for problems (spacer not hub centric, wrong lug bolts used, etc) Anyone selling the spacer should be able to guarantee a hub centric fit for your specific model and provide the correct length bolts as part of the deal. I'd rather use a wheel that has the correct ET than try and fudge something that isn't right.

Nicely said.
