Hey Brother, you did a fantastic job on your E46. I have an 04 325i. I’m currently shopping for 18in CSL style wheels, and of course I need wheel spacers. What do you recommend for spacer sizing that won’t rub? The factory 16in wheels are on there now with my Blizzak winter tires. I’ll be wrapping my new wheels in Michelin Pilot Sports. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated... Stay safe!👍🏽
Thank you Bro. For regular E46 with 18" CSL wheels goes with 10mm spacers all 4 wheels with stock suspension. I wouldn't recommend higher than that....enjoy/stay safe and have fun brother 👍
@@teslam3chennel I appreciate your speedy reply, thank you! Do you think with 10mm all around I’ll need longer bolts? I was thinking of doing a lug stud conversion, but I’m not sure if I’ll need it with 10mm spacers. Do you recommend ECS Tuning wheel spacers, or is it best to get the same brand you went with? Thank you again for all of your help brother!
Yes, highly recommend to do stud conversion with spacers. I would say both spacers (ECS or KSP) are good. Make sure get spacers with hub centric. Wouldn't recommend spacers without hub centric. For safety...👍✌
Daniel, I have a link in the description below where to can get for your 325Xi. Just enter the year, make & model of your car. They have all make & models for BMW. It's a good spacers and good price, I still use it as of today on my E46 M3. Thanks for watching Daniel.
@@teslam3chennelhey i’m thinking about putting my current (255-35-19 REAR) tires to the front and getting (275-30-19) tires for the back. is this what you did? will 15mm front and 12mm back spacers back rub if i got these tires?
OVERLAND TRD I did the fan delete. I bought the mishimoto fan kit with the controller. I replaced the belts, tensioners, and pulleys. I was going to order a new fan clutch and fan, but after hearing so many bad reviews about the fan clutch exploding I decided to get the best electric fan you can buy. It is really good.
OVERLAND TRD Do you know anything about convertible tops? I’ve been trying to ask for help, and so far nothing. On my e46 m3 vert the top doesn’t work. You press the button for the top and it flashes red. I know there is a way to do it manually which I found that video. There is a screw by the rear view mirror which you have to unscrew. Problem with mine is when you try to unscrew it, it just comes all of the way out.
I would recommend 12mm front and 10mm rear. This is what I currently installed in my E46 M3. No rubbing at all 👍. However, if your wheels are not too wide, 12 mm should be fine. Thanks for watching Ivan.
Thank you Maksym. You can use the same size spacers I have. 16inch wheel is not tall enough that can lead to rub with the wheel fender. You should be okay to have 20mm front &15mm rear for 16inch stock wheels. Mine is rubbing when it goes into a speed bump. Cuz i have 19inch and 275-30-ZR19 rear tires.
@@teslam3chennel thank you for the reply, I’m currently weighing up wether to fit lowering springs and spacers or just spacers, as coil-overs are a little out of my budget at the moment
@@teslam3chennel 225/40/19 19rim prolly shouldn’t had got those tires but that was long time ago but yea idont know if its cus of that tires are still good
OVERLAND TRD Thanks. I was doing the brake pad sensor, and the rear wheels we’re so super tight to loosen. I have the m5 wheels, and they look pretty nice on the e46 m3 by the way.
My E46 comes in on Tuesday. But they have the base 18inch rims with standard tires. 225/45/18 F 255/40/18 R. Definitely want to get them similar to yours. Love the look.
@@teslam3chennel Cool! Thanks for the videos! I have the same tire, but in a size 255/35/19 on the rear. I ordered 12mm spacers for the rear, so i think they will work since my tires are a little stretched/narrower than yours.
Looks really nice and tight!
Thank you friend.
Thanks for sharing I just placed order ❤Mfinatic Bimmer’s 2Deep
You're welcome, friend. Glade it helps. I appreciate you watching 👍
Would recommend 15mm front and 10mm rear. May not look flush with the fender but will look much better than stock.
Fitment looks good.
Thanks friend.
Ok thank you my friend
Ok thank you brother
Awesome man !!! perfect !!😁🔥🔥

hey i have 225-40-19 FRONT / 255-35-19 REAR tires. stock suspension, what size spacers do you recommend?
10mm rear & 15mm front.

@keneeo Yes, I did that. Unfortunately, it rubbed with the fender. If you go with the sizes of these tires, go with a 15mm front and 10mm rear.
Nice Car......Hallo from Germany......M3 Joe

Is 12 mm spacers for front and rear ok?

Hey there! Love the look on it. I wanted to know what size spacer to use for a stock 16 in rims for the front and the back! Cheers!
Thank you Maksym. You can use the same size spacers I have. 16inch wheel is not tall enough that can lead to rub with the wheel fender. You should be okay to have 20mm front &15mm rear for 16inch stock wheels. Mine is rubbing when it goes into a speed bump. Cuz i have 19inch and 275-30-ZR19 rear tires.
do you have any added camber in car or stock
No camber added but full coil over installed by BC RACING COIIOVER and added spacers 15mm front and 10mm rear. Thank you for watching, friend ✌️
Is this spacer install only, you don’t have springs installed
Spacers & BC Coilover Spring installed. Thanks for watching Ryan.
@@teslam3chennel thank you for the reply, I’m currently weighing up wether to fit lowering springs and spacers or just spacers, as coil-overs are a little out of my budget at the moment
@@Ryan____Z you're welcome.
Great car, can you please tell me which are that wheels. Thanks 👍🏼
Thanks friend. These are the E46 M3 CSL wheels.
@@teslam3chennel thanks!
hi there - nice car. Any issues rubbing?
Wilson, thank you. There is no rubbing at all fortunately. I love these spacers. It makes the car looks very aggressive and sporty.
The front is 20mm.
Ok i see the the size tires you use
Hi my friend what size number tires you use for your BMW
why more mm in front than in rear?
more gap in the front
why is the 20mm in front wouldnt the back be better wider 20rear 15 front?
looks good
My rear wheel is too wide. If put 20mm will rub.
Do you have any idea if you have to buy new bolts when adding 12mm spacers??
I got my nuts and bolts kits from ECS TUNING that goes up to 12mm. Make sure it for E46 M3. Hope I answered your question.
My friends can you help me to buy
What do you need help with?
@@teslam3chennel I have confusion about bolt if spacer’s come with bolt
@@pierresaintdaniel300 Yes, spacer comes with bolts.
You dont rub?
No rubbing my friend. Thank you for watching. ✌
@@teslam3chennel i put a 12mm spacer infront wheel and its the rubbing the front of the wheel with the black protector thats on the fender
@@ivancenteno541 umh, what size tires you're running on the front?
@@teslam3chennel 225/40/19 19rim prolly shouldn’t had got those tires but that was long time ago but yea idont know if its cus of that tires are still good
@@ivancenteno541 your tires higher than mine. That might be the rubbing coming from. Mine is 35.
What did you torqued the bolts at?
I believe BMW wheel torque spec. for E46 M3 around 87-90ft/lbs. I torqued mine above 88 ft/lbs. due to the spacers. My torque is 100ft/lbs.
OVERLAND TRD
Thanks. I was doing the brake pad sensor, and the rear wheels we’re so super tight to loosen. I have the m5 wheels, and they look pretty nice on the e46 m3 by the way.
i have a regular 325ci. my tyres are 225 45r17. would 15mm fit without rubbing? 25mm??
You should be fine.👍
@@teslam3chennel sounds good, thanks!
