Those using spacers.......

Where did you purchase them and where do you get your tires serviced at?

I was checking into this locally and Discount Tire stated that they do not sell them and will not service your vehicle if you are using spacers.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the info. Do I only need spacers on the front for the M35/45 19" Sport Rims? They will be going on my 04 Coupe.

Where is a good place to buy them from online?

for M45 wheels you need spacers for both front and rear.

I used +25

Thanks for the info. How did you remove that little post to allow for the spacer install? Does it just screw off? Just want to make sure I know everything before doing anything.

Couple of more questions after looking at the site where you bought your spacers. Are these the ones that you got?

http://www.optionimports.com/5065662a.html

What is the smallest spacer you could get away with?

This are the ones that I got. They are the same as the ones you posted but diff part number

Smallest spacer is +5 I think. With that spacer you going to have to use extended studs. Which is a totally diff thing.

With +25 spacers that I went with you don't have to use extended studs or hub centric ring. This spacers have that ring built in to them and they bolt up to your studs that you have on the car and they have studs built into them for you to mount the wheel.


The small bolt that you are asking about I did remove and threw it out.

It does not do much (or anything) at all.

everything I told you is what I did with M45 wheels.

If you get wheels with diff offset then you will need diff size spacers.

I am going to get the M35/45 19" Sport wheels. I am not into the aftermarket wheels. I currently have the 19" OEM rims which I will sell when I get my other rims if there is anyone out there interested.

You should be able to sell them for around $500 depends on the rubber.

And should be able to pick up M wheels for around $1200 also depends on the rubber.

But you're not going to want to use the rubber that the M sport wheels come with. They are 245/45/19s all around. The coupe likes a staggered setup. Get a set of wheels, without tires, and then get a staggered setup on your tires...something like 235/35/19 fronts and 255/35/19 rears or something.

Keep in mind, you need to get TPMS too or you'll have that little light on all the time.
