I’ve got an e46 saloon/ sedan
I was wondering what wheel spacers people recommend for the saloon. I’ve got a set of mv1 I believe I’ll need 12-15mm on the front and 20mm on the rear to get the poke I’d like can anyone recommend a set

Recommend? They are a metal plate, what's to recommend? Just get the size you need, and new bolts.

My thoughts exactly but just wanted to make sure there was anything to avoid before I commit to a purchase. I know I should avoid non concentric sets.

Eibach spacers or apex

Terrible advice. Yes, they seem very simple but the truth is you do not want to buy any old cheap/budget spacers. You will be looking at $100ish per axle, so about $200-$250 shipped.

Low cost spacers aren't made well in terms of quality, they will introduce wheel wobble and wheel bolts could have very weak threads. Stick with a well-known brand like H&R or Eibach. Might want to consider a stud conversion kit to make it easier taking wheels on and off as you have the wheel to hold and line up along with the spacer.



EDIT: Exhibit A. Poor tolerance for wheel hubs.

That makes sense. If I was to look at conversion kits what should I be looking for? Any recommendations or tips
