Wheel Spacer advice

troye · 03-30-2011, 10:53 AM

Guys,
New Beamer owner here...

I have the M L.-A. W. STAR SPOKE 193 Rims.
15mm spacers in the back are PERFECT.

Looking for recommendations on the front.

I tried the 12mm as advised by an "Expert" and it was too wide.
I am now running the 10mm and it seems too wide still, although not by much.

These rims are staggered (doing research now to find out advantage / dis of staggered)

Should I be running a spacer on the front, and if yes what size?

Any help is appreciated, don't want to spend any more $$$ on spacers that I cannot return

I can do 5mm, bu those don't have the hubcentric ring.
Any rubbing with the 10mm?

15mm front and 20mm rear do-able

I have 15mm rear and 10mm front. I had 12mm front and the tire stuck out too far, yes there would be rubbing if I was lowered.

10mm in front still sticks out a bit, so if I was lowered it would also rub.
