Where to get spacers for BBS CH's?

[audinuts]

I'm planning to run 5mm+ spacers behind my BBS CH's in both front and rear. Where can I get them? Thanks in advance.

Take a look at ECStuning. They have a pretty wide selection. I am sure there are more.

Be careful with smaller spacers. They are very hard to get centered on the hub correctly and could end up causing vibrations. They can be more trouble then they're worth. But, if you do want some, I would contact JB at www.Performance-Cafe.com

I've bought spacers and sway bar from him. Great guy to buy from.

Thanks. I was looking at their 7mm spacers (ES#252753), but I don't know if they will fit behind my BBS CH's.

what is the size of your wheels?

[Phrost]

Spacers (any size) will not cause any vibrations or problems if you install them properly.

H&R makes great spacers, stay away from FK spacers. Other brands I have no experience with.

Make sure you buy extended lug bolts, please

[AudiWxGuy]

That's exactly what I said.

what is the size of your wheels?

19"

Yes, I'll buy longer bolts. I'm torn between H&R and ECS.

I meant width and offset which effect the spacer size, 19" is irrelevant

8.5" and ET35. Rolling the fenders is part of my ongoing project.

[Sharkfin]

that is the perfect size, you don't need spacers. With that size they will be perfectly tucked near the fender and shouldn't rub if you have a proper alignment and aren't slammed.

[Cargo8]

with that set up (i have that setup) [btw what tires, running 245/35?] fronts should be fine, i dont think you should space the fronts at all.
please let me know (pm me please or post it here) how spacers in the rear work out for you. I've considered spacers but I feel like I couldn't go more than 2-3 mm in the rear without poke / rubbing.

Yes, they sit flush with the fenders as of now. Since I'm going to roll my fenders, I figure I will need some spacers to make them stick further out so they sit flush with the fenders again afterward.

I'm running 245/35 as well. I haven't put spacers on my car yet. When I do, I'll let you know, but my fenders will be rolled by then.

It doesn't make sense, you want flush and they are flush, why are you rolling the fenders or wanting spacers? You have the correct measurements and everything?

Apology if I was a little confusing. I'm going to widen my car's body and rolling the fenders will be one of the things to be done.

a full widebody project? or just wide tires/stance...

You can purchase H&R or other hubcentric spacers from us direct, if you decide to get some. 714.632.1951

a full widebody project

[Sharkfin]

sweet! you should have mentioned that at the beginning....haha

[MOFSTEEL]

I dont think rolling fenders = full widebody.
BTW I run 19x8.5 with an ET32 lowered on KW V3's and I sit flush.

Sorry! I was being sort of unclear as to what my project is going to be.

Nop, they are not the same, but rolling fenders will be part of my widebody project. I should have mentioned exactly what I'm going to do in the first place, like nsmith said.

That looks awesome. I wish my CH's came with an ET32 offset.

[audinuts]

One noob question: do spacers that fit on OEM wheels fit on BBS wheels? I know I'll have to get longer conical seat bolts to go with my CH when I put spacers on. Is there any other difference I should know of regarding spacers for OEM and aftermarket wheel application?

[Phrost]

Any spacer should fit with any wheel, oem or aftermarket. There should be no difference.

Also, I think BBS are considered "oem" wheels, so you should be using a ball-seat lug bolt.

[Cargo8]

false, only the BBS CO what were stock have the ball seat.
bbs aftermarket also are conical seat

Nice looking car! What tire size do you have? Have you got any problems runing this set up?

[audinuts]

Are you running any spacers? ET50 seems quite low for our cars.

If you say so, I don't own any BBS wheels. But I'd assume one would look at the included bolts when they bought their BBS wheels, and would know what type of lug bolts they need anyway

Yes, I use H&R 15 mm spacers all around, which brings ET to 35
