Do you only do BMW wheel spacers? I need 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe wheel spacers.

@rk5rk5rk5 E90's usually require HUBCENTRIC spacers to be "safe" above 50mph. While a balance might help, aint no telling if it will still shake anywhere past 50 or 60.

my BMW needs hubcentric spacers too, but i don't usually go faster than 50. otherwise, there's a little ring sold for people who already made the mistake of buying universal spacers. it's also a bitch and a half to put on. It goes in between the hub/bearing lip and the spacer, and keeps the spacer solid from wobbling.

@Twizster what car, maybe telling us would help. You'll probly need extended lug BOLTS if it's "genius" german engineering. You'll need a balance too. be careful each time you take off lugs bolts as you'll need to retighten them after 20 and 50 miles. My wheel fell off because I failed to make this check before getting on a highway.

I purchased the universal spacer u have in your video before watching this. I installed it on my car then put the rims and tires back on. I dont know if I did it right because when I took the car or a drive around the block it was wobbling... Whats the proper way to put these on. do I need extended lug nuts?

I like this guy, he knows what he is talking about in every video.
