Vac-motorsports Hub Extenders installed

Vac-motorsports Hub Extenders installed

Was having a slight issue with my rims slightly rubbing the coilover so I put on a 3MM spacer and got a slight vibration so I put on a 5MM spacer with the vac motorsports hub extender.

DIY: Put Anti-seaze on lip and beat in with rubber mallet (30 second job!).

Did the 5mm stop the vibration? Was thinking about running a 3mm spacer so I can run 19X9.5 up front, but now thinking about maybe going this 5mm and hub extender route

I installed these as well and can atest to the OP's reviews. High quality, excellent fitment.

I will also say their spacers are fooking great as well - some of the best I have used.

Also if the hub extenders come off in your rim (easy to get out) Just put anti-seize on the outside edge. This is not a flaw if vacs product....rims all have different tolerance/clearance.

Do you still make these ? I'm running 5mm up front in the 1er but things are a little tight to the strut, especially once the M3 arms go in.

They are a must have, honestly though...get the vac spacers, they are hands down the best.

Anyone know if these will fit the e60? I have a 5mm that's causing slight vibration in the front. Guys at vac motor sports aren't sure but I'm assuming since wheels and spacers from e90 fits the e60 that they should work fine?
