Wheel Spacer Question
I currently have 2 cars:
- 2020 BMW M340i with wheel offset of 27 - 2018 Mercedes C300 with offset of 47. I want to purchase a set of wheels that can work on both, which led me to look for wheels with offset ~45. In order for these to work with my 340i (offset 27), I likely need to add a ~15mm spacer. I hear people talk about how spacers add additional load on the bearing, but what if I am adding spacers just to get it to match OEM specs? Is that still considered bad? |

I had Eibach spacers on for over 70k miles without any issues. The load they add is insignificant in the long run. There are cars on spacers to match oem with original wheel bearings on more than 100k miles. Don't get me wrong, crazy spacers to look like a ricer will cause problems. If you are under 18mm which you will be then you'll be fine. I had 12mm front and 15mm rear on mine. Nice staggered aggressive look.
