I'm looking to purchase some ACS 7mm spacers for my car - but the problem is that I need them really fast. :eek:

Do I need to go to the nearest BMW dealer (chances are he won't even know what I want) or are there any dealers on this board able to order these items for me? I prefer to do mail-order as I don't have my car in the UK.

I think the ref # of the item is
361399210

Thanks guys!

dealer will take between 24/48 hrs depending on if there is UK stock. If not, it'll take 3-4 days to order the part from germany. You will also need longer wheelbolts.

You only need 7mm spacers, they don't have to be ACS, as long as they are hub-centric. FK Automotive sell spacers of various sizes and I know Roy stocks these. ACS actually have theirs made by H&R anyway so you're not losing anything.

Drop Roy a line on 0870 24 24 219 if he has them, he can get them out to you ASAP

And just as a pointed example for new people aswell as a reminder for us oldies, that was a comprehensive solution (including a name and phone number to call) in 8 minutes. God this board kicks ass.

Photek has the Type 3 Racing wheels and ACS wheels have slightly larger hub size. I suggest he sticks to the OEM ACS spacers to maintain true hub centricity. You can still manage with standard hub sized spacers but the wheel will be held hub centric by the tapered bolts only (same as how your ACS wheels are bolted onto your car at the moment).

Thanks a lot for your answers. As peppernick said, I prefer to stick with ACS spacers, to avoid any problems.

I guess my only solution is to see the nearest BMW dealer, hope he will understand what I want :confused:

ACS spacers come as a pair together with the longer wheel bolts. They cost around £35.

What happens with the "anti-theft" bolt then? Can you use still use the BMW one?

No. That has to be longer as well. ACS do a set - rebadged McGuards

I've received the spacers from BMW Nine Elms in Battersea, fast service. Just fitted them today and it looks great... you guys were right that the wheels looked "tucked in" without.

Will post new pics later.
