Spacers on 20inch wheels

ronald_adi · 12-30-2009, 08:53 AM

I was wondering if anyone here has used spacer on their 20 inch wheels? And what does it look like afterwards?

Some pictures would be great!

REInvestor,
I've spent a lot of time playing with that web site. Forgive my stupidity please but how does one order spacers or contact those folks? I don't read or speak German.
Thanks.

I think you are asking for the hub-centric rings, scroll abouthalf way down the page on one of my old posts, and I have a picture:

Thanks.

On the left of the page there is a link for catalog download. Once you click on that link, you will see they have an English version you can download.

All their contact info is listed on top of the web page. Their phone number is 011+49+9172-6679 I Can't make out if there is another zero after the nine. This is of course if you are calling from stateside. Dialing 011 allows you to call out of country, 49 is the country code, the rest is like an area code and number. I would give them a call and tell them you are calling from the US and if they speak English. There are many Germans that speak English as a second language. Hope that helps. I had the pleasure of living in Germany for 11 years. It was great learning how to drive over there as a teenager growing up. I miss driving on the autobahn.

If I can reach them I'll order some 12 or 15 MM on Monday. Thanks.

eg3 · 01-04-2010, 04:13 AM

This guy makes custom hub-centric spacers as well. Better than ordering from Germany I think:
http://www.wheeladapter.com/wheel_spacers.php

Front hub is 74mm, rear is 72.5mm. The bolt pattern was 5x120 I believe.

minime388 · 01-04-2010, 06:48 AM

i have a set from Hamann but i still wait for the longer bolt. Mine is 10mm thickness. So i make it by my own with 15mm thickness. Bolt will arrive thursday I will show you some pic. I have 22" rim

Skywagon · 01-04-2010, 08:11 AM

eg3,
Thanks much, will call today, 1/4. I'm going with a 15mm I think.

audioquest · 01-04-2010, 05:09 PM

I had measure up, front 10mm rear 15mm.

Skywagon · 01-04-2010, 06:59 PM

I spoke to the man at wheel adapter today. He needs to know the hub size as well as the lug bolt diameter, 12 or 14 mm. My car gets H&R Springs, 1.2 drop tomorrow. I'm having the hubs and bolts measured. He can custom make them in a day.

Skywagon · 01-05-2010, 06:06 PM

Ordered spacers from WheelAdapter.com at noon today EST, just got an e-mail they were shipped. Fred is the man you want to talk to, any size can be made. $280 for custom made 15MM. FWIW below are the specs for an X6
Forward wheel hubs - 74 MM
Rear wheel hubs - 72.5 MM
14 MM lug bolts
5 X 120 bolt pattern
I ordered extended wheel bolts and a set of keyed (locking) bolts from the below folks.

Will they fit a 2011 X6 M?

Skywagon · 10-25-2010, 08:40 AM

He can make them for any car. I'd wager the hub sizes are the same for the M models but I don't know. I remember that he was resistant to the idea of two different hub sizes on the X6 but I finally convinced him. Good luck.

H&R makes spacers for X6, i personally would go with H&R because they have been tested for this car and made in Germany. I'm in the midst of getting spacers for my car, and its between H&R or sparco, but H&R seems to be the way to go.

I got the H&R spacers, 25mm. I ordered it from turner motor sports. No complaints, and great delivery time. I feel H&R is the best quality brand for the X6. Good luck
