Beatbox Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Hi! Ive got 18inch e46 style 32s 8 and 8.5j on my pre facelift coupe and have recently fitted coilovers on it! The front wheels are now rubbing on the springs and the wheels are looking lost in the arches! Was wondering what size of spacers i can go to without having any arch work done! Was thinking of getting 20mm all around! Would that be fine or will i get rubbing issues? Any input would be awesome guys!

Mugs Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Before I bough mine I did a search on here and found a few posts regarding spacers. I have a vert so went for 15mm but I read that the coupe has more room in the arch and some people have fitted 20mm but I'm not sure if they had to roll the arches for or not. If you want 15mm then I have a set of brand new ones still in the unopened box that I have listed in the for sale section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was starting to think nobody was going to get back to me! Hahaa! Aye i tried to fo a bit if research on it aswell but half of people say 15mm the other half 20mm so still not very sure! The wheels just look so lost i think that 20mm might bring them out to where i want them but dont want to go done the route of arch work n that! Ok then mate if i end up getting 15mm then i shall give you a shout if you still have them!

Ruesta Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 I had style 32s on my old 328 coupe and it was on coilovers. I had to fit spacers to clear the front springs too, I fitted 20mm front and back and had no issues really. Arches were not rolled. If I hit a big bump the front tyres would catch on the inner wheel arch liner occasionally but all this did was make a mark on the plastic arch liner, no damage to tyres and I was running the front as low as I could get it most of the time. The spacers really sorted the way it looked. Well worth doing. This is how she looked: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fills the arches out perfect 👌 defo think 20mm is the way to go then! Could deal with a little arch rub every so often as it doesnt get driven much just occasionally at the weekends!
