    I ordered 12.5mm for the fronts and 10mm for rears for my e39 530i. I had not seen this video. My 12.5mm fit like a glove but the 10mm had the exact rocking motion shown here; the wheel would not sit flush against the spacer. Ordered another set of 12.5mm for the rear. Wish i had seen this video before. Or I wish they would have included a link to this video on the 10mm and 12.5mm product descriptions on the site. I still would not have know which would fit but i would have done a better job of test fitting before installing.

    I ordered spacers for my 2024 Nissan Altima SR. I ran into that situation you talked about with the chamfer on my OEM wheels. The center part of the spacer doesn’t seat all the way into the original rim. The rim rocks in all directions on the spacer. The specs for my car suggest that is has a 66.1mm bore, which is what I ordered but they still don’t seem to fit. Is there a way around this?

    • @ecstuning

      Best bet is to try it on your wheel without mounting. If you have issues you can return them as long as you don't install it onto your car.

      i’m on OZ Racing Leggera HLTs on my 2018 A4 B9. The OZ wheels have a centre bore of 75mm and the 10mm ECS tuning spacers have a “hump” of 70.5mm on the back of the hub centric lip. To solve the fitment issue, i ordered a set of OD 75mm x ID 70.5mm x Width 8mm hub rings. My OZs now sits flush with my fenders with the spacers installed. No vibrations whatsoever. 😺👍🏼

    Thanks for the informative video. I have a 2017 Audi S3 8V Sporthatch, with factory 19" wheels. I am looking to get wheel spacers all around. Can you please recommend a thickness that will ensure I don't have to make any modification to the wheel arches etc, and won't get any rubbing or tire contact issues, including on the front from lock to lock, and even on full suspension compression? Cheers!

    I've done the install as recommended on my GLI with 12.5mm up front and 15mm in the rear, but I still encounter a vibration felt in the steering wheel and seats around 75-85 mph. When the spacers are off there is no vibration. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can eliminate the vibration?

    • @ecstuning
      @ecstuning  4 роки тому +2

      First, check the balance of the wheels. Vibrations will be amplified with spacers. Second, make sure there is no chamfer interference between the spacer and the bore on your wheels. Lastly, ensure they are torqued properly. In odd situation, you may have a defective product, and we can measure your spacers if you still have issues. Please check over the first three tips.
