Thanks for video. I bought a used E60 with BMW 128 Style wheels in 19". Installing coilovers and no info on what size spacers. Seeing your setup helped... Much appreciated... Peace...
7:15 Looks like the front could use 5mm. I think that would make front and back even more balanced. But as far as I know, 5mm spacers don't come as hubcentric, so it would depend on your rims whether or not you'd have enough hub left to safely install the rims.
@@aam77 I know. But like I said: depending on the shape of the inside of the rim, you could be lucky and have enough of the car's hub left for safely mounting the rims. My OPC rims on my Opel Insignia have a 'fase' (Sorry, I don't know the english word) of about 5mm, which means that they only "use" half of the 10mm of the car's hub. So mounting 5mm spacers would not be an option for me.
I've got the 172 Spyder alloys on my E61 and I find that they touch the inner wheel arch liner when the suspension is jacked up and in full droop. They are fine when on the road with no rubbing but I just wondered if you had any similar issues before you fitted the spacers? Originally I had a set of non-BMW 172 style copies and they had a 10mm additional offset but when they got cracked and I bought a set of genuine BMW refurbished wheels, that's when I had this rubbing problem in full droop. Anyway, it sounds like getting 15mm spacers is the way to go and will cure my problem as well as looking much nicer. Thanks for the video.
With the genuine Spyder wheels on the correct axles without any spacers shouldn't rub on either side of the arch lining. I didn't have any issues with the spacers, let alone without. I know the e61s have air suspension on the rear wheels. Perhaps those have something to do. I had 4 people in the car with boot full of my son's stuff when dropping him of at his university. While hitting some bumps, I could feel the suspension kind of hitting rock bottom but there was still no rub on either side. That was with the spacers though.
Just do a search on eBay with "bimecc" and the spacer size and your car's model. There are different colour combinations and also locking wheel bolts. You can get silver spacers with silver bolts or all black or mixed. As you can see I went for the silver spacers as the hub is silver and black bolts. They all do come with the extended bolts if that's what you meant by your second question.
The recommended sizes are 245x35 on the front and 275x30 on the rear. If you go for the ones you mentioned, the profile may be the same due to their width but the width would still be narrow. May give that stretched look buy not sure how good it'd look on these wheels.

Thanks man i have a e60 M package with 18 inch wheel yes it’s fit perfectly not less not more ! 👌
It’s a brilliant and easy way to done . Thanks
Looks amazing man 15m is sweet for the rear, dont need more
Thanks for that video. I was trying to decide wether to go wwith 20 or 15mm spacers. Thats decided it for me 👍👍
I glad that it was of help. When I did mine, there was no information available for this combo.
@@aam77 My car is exactly the same as yours. I'm goin to powder coat my rims in anthracite. I'l post a pic when they are done 👍
Roll the fenders to prevent rubbing also what are your tire specs?
Very accurate information. Thanks
What ET are you rear wheel

5mm ones are not hub centric and I know people who have had wobbly front wheels on these rims.

Any rubbing, it looks like the wheel is stick out a little too much. If you have 2 people in the back it might rub going over bumps.
Where did yo buy the Bimecc spacers from and do they come with the spacers?

I've got 18's on my E60. Would you recommend sticking with 15mm spacers
Sorry it took me so long to respond. If the gap between the arch and tyre is similar, then it should be fine.
7:26 every time i look at my car.... xD
Hoe many mm bolt need i for 15mm spacer
Take out one of the existing bolts, measure it, and add 15mm.
Are those rims aftermarket? how much you paid for them ? very nice vid
They are one of the options for the M Sport E60. Mine came with them.
I see your daughter dancing in the reflection 😂
She was actually practicing her brown belt kata. Poor girl got worried and asked me if this was going to be a problem uploading this video 😂
Front tire sizes?
Fronts are 245 X 35 X 19
Hi what tire sizes u use?
On the rear it should be 275 X 30 X 19 but I'm using 35.
@@aam77 and the front? 245 X 40 X 19 ? any rubs?
screwed lenght ?
I'm not sure about the length but it'll be easy to work out. It'll be 15mm (Give or take 1-2mm) longer than the ones on the car.
not enough MONEY?
I buy 172 wheels for my e60. And i have problem about tires size so i found you. Can i buy 235/40 R19 front and 245/40 R19 back? Help
