Hello everyone, I am getting ready to put spacers on my 04 ZHP. I have a stock set up but I love the flush look. I have read several threads on spacers but found no definate answer to what size I need. So far it seems that 20mm front and 25mm rear brings stock to to flush. Has anyone put spacers on the 135's? If so please let me know of the results! Thanks in advance!

I have 12.5mm Spacers in the front and it looks fairly flush. I can't tell you on the rear since I rolled my fenders and the fender is a bit flared out. I think you can get away with 12-15mm.
edit:
This is the closest picture i have of the spacers on my car.

Measure the distance you have to the fender edge. Then.....buy a spacer that size....

I went really aggressive with my set at one point.
First set up
Front 20mm
Rear 15mm
Second set up
Front 15mm
Rear 12mm
The first set up I ended up rolling the rear fenders. While it was flush (to me it stuck out a little too much in the front for my liking). The second set up was great and provided the look I wanted. It did not make me feel as if the wheels were sticking out too much.
^pics?

Does the addition of the spacers on the stock wheels accelerate wheel bearing wear due to uneven loading?

I have not seen this.....though it could.

I was just curious since BMW used to use hubcentric setups.

Sorry I dont have any pics. I got rid of them as I thought I would never need them.
Noted: Save pics of mods, Dont get rid even if changing set up!!!!!

The spacers themselves are hub centric as well.Originally Posted by brettbimmer
