[QUOTE="jinooi, post: 350629, member: 15870"] depends on the rims you are using. some rims need special spacers with spigots on them, e.g. ac schnitzer. but most spacers are universal. just make sure that they cater to BMW specs - PCD 5 x 120, bore:72.5mm (i think) if you plan to use your existing rims. also find out the tolerance of the spacers. most reputable brands will provide you with the tolerance specs, just like rims. it's not just based on speed, it's the amount of stress it can be subjected to. dunno about m'sia, dude. i'm situated down south, so unless you visit me, i won't be able to advice you. spacers are like the extension on your rims, and just like rims, they have to be hubcentric. if your rims are hubcentric, then your steering and car will not vibrate, regardless of the speed you are traveling at. but if your rims are not hubcentric and you are already experiencing vibration, then spacers will only amplify the vibration.
