Inch spacer is too much IMO.

Its true I had these wheels for a month or two and moved to SSRs. The way I see it i already threw 1k for these wheels why not an extra $500 for some legit name brand wheels.

I apologize if it was already covered, but what is the BMW OEM wheel hub bore diameter?

I believe the 2GS hub is 60.1mm?

Thanks

The Coilovers were ordered via Tristan at Circuit Motorsports......great great people to work with. Ordered sway bar poly bushings too! Highly recommended for anything they have to offer.

The strut bars are from ebay (they are exact copies of the tein).

Wheels were off ebay (500+100 shipping).

Tires are from my speed shop, and adapters are from them too......

Wow what happened to bimmerforums, the folks there used to be pretty cool IIRC. A sudden emerge of cute little 16 years old with E36 3 series I suppose?

Needless to say by now Lexus > BMW, we have a supercar and they don't.

there are few types of spacers...there are thin little spacers with no pressed in studs that go 3mm and up....and there are spacers with pressed in studs...i think the smallest i've seen are 10mm spacers with the pressed in studs...with those spacers they have the same pcd all the way....(ex: 5x114 to 5x114)

adapters are like spacers but instead of having the same pcd all the way, it changes on the stud side....ex. 5x114 to 5x120(or any other pcd) in order to fit other types of wheels...in this case, the bmw wheels..
