20mm spacers front / rear

I put spacers on all my cars.
I went for a 20mm front and rear
Final thoughts: looks great and maybe 18mm/20mm would be dialed in just perfect

I couldn't find anyone that had i3 specific spacers so I had to put a kit together on my own.

Look for 5x112 and 66.6 center bore spacers.
I believe this is a more commonly used Mercedes fitment but it was perfect for our i3.

The extended lugs were standard BMW and cone shaped.

Yah you're right now that I've been on 20/20 for a few weeks I think it's the best setup
Your i3 looks fly!

You know I've had many BMWs and the i3 vaults itself to a top 3.

Freeing yourself from gas is liberating!!! The 17s have improved range and I sold 3 yesterday lol. Be happy to order you one just in time for Xmas hahaha.

I would love to liberate and free myself from gas, but I'm on Santa naughty list. Have been there a couple of years now, still trying to get off the list but no luck.

Hopefully next year
