Hello, today I installed a 15mm spacer on my front wheels. I noticed a vibration going 35mph+. I have an M5 fender thus needing a wider spacer. Also, i'm on xdrive with coilover if that changes anything. Does anyone have a similar problem? I got these off eBay they look and feels very nice and yes they're hubcentric.

Do not do not get them from ebay. I have 12mm front and 15mm rears. I got them from Burger Tunning. Its worth it paying a little more to know that the spacers are good.

Does it really make a different since they're just spacer?? I don't really know this is my first time getting them.

I read some posts of the forum even with BMS spacers people were still getting this problem.

Take them off and clean them. Make sure there is no rust on the rotor which could be causing a gap. Even though you might not be able to see it, you're feeling it when you are going 35 mph.

Yea I was just going to say that... I read some ppl had issues with bms spacers also... on my old e60 I ran h&r spacers for like 7-8 yrs and never had any issues.. I was on kw v2 also... if it still vibrates contact the vendor... few of my friends ran ebay spacers without any issues

I have a feeling they are not mounted correctly

Exactly what I'm doing. I will report back. I didn't clean the hub and the wheels before mounting the spacers that's a big no no.

Update: the vibration was due to the improper cleaning before installation. Everything is working as aspected no vibration!

good to hear!

i knew it either wasn't mounted correctly meaning the normal sand and brush and use brake cleaner to wash off any residue from brushing that way the spacers mount perfectly flat on the hub
