The Cart Before the Horse: Spec 3 Build

[Senor_Taylor]

You keep those K1s or die a slow horrible death.

I like K1s, but these rub and require spacers on this car.

If we're going for "Maximum Attack Spec3" then he can't keep them   They do look good on it.

Taylor, I (and others) have had to run spacers up front with most 17" wheels. I think a 10mm will do it, but you'll need a hub extender unless the spacer has a lip on it. Most 10's do not. A 12mm will have the lip and work fine. Just an FYI - not sure what you need for 15" wheels. I suspect no spacer but perhaps the E34 fitment requires some schmoozing between fender/wheel/hub/etc.

Good to know. It has spacers up front right now, but doesn't need them with a suspension with a less prominent spring perch. The current spec 3 suspension and stock suspension warrant a spacer with this size wheel. The old spec 3 suspension used a coilover type deal that had a less prominent perch that didn't rub. Not sure about the 15x7s. At least, this is what was explained to me by Simon.


Edit: @scott. The K1s are 17x8.5
