    Default What Spacer for e34 rear wheel.

    I did a site search, but am still not sure how to proceed.

    I bought new wheels for a 1995 BMW 525i (description below)
    Although they are for a 3 series, the vendor gave me 15 MM spacers to make them fit the car.
    The front spacers fit both the hub and wheel perfectly.
    The rear fits the wheel, but is not seating flush on the hub.
    There is gap of a maybe a couple of millimeters between the spacer and the hub. Looks like the inner ring of the spacer should be a little deeper.
    Anyone have experience on rear spacers for e34 BMW 525i’s that can offer advice?
    Thanks
    Sam

    Hmm, I never knew there were style 32 wheels in 17" on a 3 series. I don't think there should be a difference in the front and back regarding your issue. Maybe two of the spacers are incorrect? Have you compared all 4?

    If you end up needing new ones, I'd suggest the H&R spacers. They are supposed to be great quality: http://www.optionimports.com/3075725a.html
