I just installed M7 coilovers on my R56 cooper S and my girlfriend just got me the rims i've been wanting (ROTA Boost 17x7.5 with a 45mm offset) Only problem is that they do not clear the coilovers in the front! My mechanic says i need a 3mm spacer and it should be hubcentric to avoid any unwanted vibration.....Can any one help??

 

I got my 5mm h&r spacers from turner motorports. I know you can get 3mm spacers from pilo but i would just bite the bullit and get the h&r 5mm's as they are a name you can trust and are of very good construction.

 

well i just took a chance and ordered custom hubcentric 3mm for a company from cali. on Ebay.....i couldn't find anyone else that had hubcentric 3mm.

 

Are you still running the lug bolts or have you upgraded to Lugs and wheel nuts? The 28mm shank on the bolts will not be enough bite into the hub with spacers so you may need longer bolts if you are still running those. PM me if you are still useing bolts and I'll tell ya where to get them. There are only two MFG of the 14x1.25 bolts.

 

your hub is longer than 3mm...doesn't have to be 'hubcentric' as the
wheel disc can still rest on your hub.

i dont even use hub centric rings on some of my wheels. never had
vibrations.
