Breyton Rims:
Is it true that for 5,6,7 series needs a special Breyton spacer to be able to fit?
Or is the shop guy trying to pull a fast one!!!!!

Reply please Thanks!

best is to call up a few more shops and check if the responses are the same!

Re: Breyton Rims - Spacer

My understanding now is that Breyton manufactures their wheels to fit the 3 series. All other series will need a spacer. It's a smart way to reduce cost and without having to manufacturer different wheels for different car series.

Dude

Unless offset of rims is not meant for your car or u larping in BBK, u will then need spacers to clear. Talking abt the tire shop pulling a fast one, hmm...don't tell me is some appointed agent...

Another way to prove if he is honest or not, if he is recommending Breyton spacers, see how much he quote you for a new set, you can tell from there.

Good luck

Re: Breyton Rims - Spacer

Yes, you will need spacers for Breyton as they are now manufactured free-sized. It will fit the 3er fine, but 5, 6, 7 will need spacers. More cost effective for both Breyton and their dealers this way as they won't need to stock that many wheels. Insist on hub-centric spacers like eibach etc and you'll be fine.

not all model breyton wheels need spacer.
to confirm just check breyton site see got any clues?
using spacer like this is not some thing new,longtime ago (10 yrs)brand like AC(some model) oredi used spacer for the 5/6/7 series, only thing is many owner dont know. is notihng wrong to use spacer (good brand) if you need to have the offset you want or need.
only thing to make sure is the screw/bolts are long eough/hub centric and does not have any vibration after putting on
to buy a good quility product is easy to konw what brand to get.
But to find a good quality workmanship workshop is the problem and sometime you were hear the excuse they said is Like that one

Hi robertan,

no need spacer for my E89 (Z4) as is the same off set as 3 series, so for 5, 6 and 7 maybe you will need and also depending on your BBK (if you have BBK).

cheers
