Alignment needed if installing wheel spacers?
I am finally getting rid of my RFTs, and while I'm at it, I figured I'd install some spacers (conservative, 5mm front 10mm rear). Would that require an alignment job? tia!

spacers should not change your alignment. just make sure all the mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before you put them on. it's a good idea to go over everything with a wire brush before installing.

agreed. while technically wont change the alignment, it will def. add a bit more camber

Just a note of caution when fitting 5mm wheelspacers. When I fitted these to the front wheels of my e90, there was a certain amount of vibration speeds above 30mph; the OEM hub centric lip does not appear to be long enough to centre the wheel perfectly. I'm not sure if the OEM hub centring lip is tapered or not?
This is a shame as the 5mm spacer with stock 8 x 19 (ET37) rims is a decent subtle modification. Does anyone else have this issue? Last edited by ALPINA2BMW; 08-04-2010 at 11:31 AM.. |
