Hi guys,

I've been looking for spacers for my F56 MCS. The consensus is to use 12mm front and 15mm rear spacers. It's quite hard to find that combination for F56. I know H&R has them but they are quite pricey.

42DraftDesign has quality USA-Made spacers for less.

My question is: would the Mercedes/Audi spacers work with our cars? Specs seems to be identical to the F56, only the hub diameter is tiny bit off (66.56 vs 66.5)

Here's 42DD's specs:

Bolt Pattern: 5x112
Bolt Hole Diameter: 14mm
Hub Centerbore: 66.56mm
Wheel Centerbore: 66.56mm
Thickness: 5mm - 25mm
Hubcentric: YES
Wheelcentric: YES

Thanks!

 

I have a set of 5mm benz spacers and no issues. They aren't think enough for the hubcentric option though. It's worth a shot I'd think, spacers are cheap and if they don't work people are always willing to buy them.

Thanks for the info.

Decided to order 12mm and 15mm sets of Mercedes spacers.

Also got extended bolts from Turner.

Hope everything's gonna fit!

 

Just an update for those who are thinking of getting spacers. The Merc/Audi spacers works great!

Here's my setup:
Akata Spacers 5x112 CB 66.6 (13mm front - 15mm rear)
Turner BMW Extended Lugs (M14x1.25x40mm Front - M14x1.25x43mm Rear)
Burger BMW Wheel Pin and Jack Pad (Helps during install)


I went with the cheap spacers which turned out to be decent quality. Plus unlike spacers for Japanese cars, spacers for our cars don't really carry any load anyway.
For those looking for good quality spacers I'd recommend going for the 42DraftDesign spacers, Made in USA, and should be lighter in weight since they machine big grooves on the spacers.

Lugs on the other hand are very important and I know the Turner guys would only sell quality lugs. I've read too many horror stories on cheap lugs breaking during normal driving....

Pics attached!

 

I thought about this but not really happy with Mini wheels or the quality of them so just changing the rims out plus I am going to wider tires once I wear the iem's out. Looks good though !

 

I just installed spacers from 42DD with the above specs. I wanted to go with spacers of the highest quality, made in the US. They look and fit beautifully. The fit on the hub is perfect- some of them took a light tap with my fist to click into place. With the fitment on the wheel, there is a tiny tiny bit of slop- is that normal? But I'm sure they're within tolerance. No pulsing or anything when driving.

 

i think berger motorsports sells them.

 

Burger doesn't, at least not yet. Pretty sure they have them listed by mistake- check the size they list.

 

You could buy Burgers Mercedes spacers but they come with chrome lugs (yucks). They wouldn't do a custom order with black lugs so I went somewhere else.

The 4DD spacers are very nice and it's made in USA.

Anyway, my cheap Akata spacers have been vibration free, I'm sure your 4DD is fine. Try it out at higher speed, that's when vibration/shimmy usually occurs.
