I have it fitted to my car
-
Interesting that the perch has to be removed on the rear to adjust the height - I guess this will make perfecting the ride height at the rear VERY time consuming!!
-
OK, do you know where I can get 10mm spacers with a collar / nose to mount the wheel on?
-
if its the same, why do some manufactures list their spacers as 66.5 and some as 66.6.
Also, Mercedes is 66.6 - some Audis are 66.5 (and also the MINI)

Thanks, the website has the CB listed as 66.6mm though, which is incorrect!
It is 66.5mm!!
I wonder if they have made a mistake?

Hi all,
I'm looking to try and source some spacers for the F56. Which is proving difficult
The spacers are probably going to be needed to allow my 18x8 ET45 wheels to clear the struts of my incoming KW coilovers. The current clearance of the OEM struts looks like this:
Front:
Rear:
I am unsure what size to go for, either 5mm or maybe 10mm. I am leaning to 10mm so that they can be hubcentric with a mounting collar for the wheels.
The requirement is: 5x112 with a 66.5mm centre bore / mounting collar.
Searching online, I have found one set of 10mm hubcentrics that fit the bill and thats it!! (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2812…_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649)
I have asked Kavs motorsports who can custom make a set, but in order to do this, they need to know the length of the collar / nose on the OEM hub - can anyone measure this for me with an accurate device?
Thanks, and if anyone has any idea of other spacers that exist - please post links

I think the German forums have good information compared to some of the other forums I use - the only problem is the language barrier sometimes as I have to read the forums using Google Translate, and sometimes the translations don't make perfect sense to me!
Its embarrassing that most English people do not speak another language, we rely on others knowing ours! Its very arrogant!

Just thought I would share a couple if beading pics to show how the Gtechniq coatings deal with the rain - very impressive
And one of the car at the MINI factory. Well worth a visiting anyone hasn't been & gets the chance

I think 8j ET35 will fit, but it will be close and may need camber to ensure the tyre treads remain under the arch - I am also unsure if they will rub or not in the fenders?
I am concerned about the wheels touching the KW suspension struts, but I will not know until the car has had the coilovers fitted!!
I may just buy some 5mm shims to start with, incase when the suspension is fitted that it will not allow the wheels to go back on!
With my R55 Clubman on AP coilovers I did not need spacers with the OEM rims, but I was limited with how low they could be wound down. Then when I fitted some 18x8 ET45 wheels I needed 5mm shims.
Ideally though, I would like hubcentric spacers and longer bolts for safety.
