BMW 745 eibach spacers
I currently have my car lowered on eibach springs. I'm thinking about adding 15mm front and 20 mm rear eibach spacers. I'm running 20" style 32 wheels 20x9 & 20x10. 245/45/20 front & 275/40/20 rear tires. Will the spacer setup work without any issues? I do not want to roll my fenders. Can anyone give me confirmation on this set up? I've done alot of research and get mixed answers on the forum. Any input would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

You will be fine. I ran 20mm spacers front and back when I used to have 20"wheels and was dropped on H&Rs.

Here's some pictures. Before the drop I didn't need spacers as much as I did after the drop. There is a link on here somewhere on how to measure exactly what size spacers you need. I'll try and find it and message it to you. I would have loved to run 25mm in the front and 30mm in the back. Make sure to also buy the longer lugnuts as well.

Thank you bro! Those wheels are MRR Wheels HR6 model. I think besides the OEM 20" wheels these are the best option to have on a big body car like ours. If you look in my pictures I have had them for a while before I bought TXstyle wheels about a year ago.

Thanks for the info. I think 15 front and 20 rear spacers will be good for my set up. Your ride is clean!

I'm running the same tire set up as you. The eibach spacers come with longer lugs for the front 15mm spacers. The rear 20mm spacers come with lugs to bolt the spacer onto the hub, than you need another set of lugs to bolt the wheel onto the spacer. My lugs that were on my wheels were to long so they just switched the lugs and it bolted on perfectly. Can anyone confirm if the ECS or H&R spacers need just 10 lugs total? The eibachs need 20 lugs for the 20mm. The ride is smooth and the look is noticably sportier. No ugly sunken in wheels. Geah!!

Do those spacers bolt onto the Hub? Or do they just sit flat on the hub and the wheels bolt onto the spacer and hub? Eibach 20mm spacers have to use a total of 10 Lugs on each side. 20 on the rear total!
