Upgrading a BMW 1 Series with Japan Racing Spacers and Adapters
Feb
When it comes to improving both the look and fitment of your car’s wheels, using high-quality Japan Racing Spacers, adapters, and lug nuts can make all the difference. One of our customers from France recently gave their BMW 1 Series (118i, 150 HP) a sleek new stance by installing the following Japan Racing products:
- Aluminum Set of 4 x Hub Rings 66.6–57.1 (A66.6-57.1)
- JRWA1 PCD Converter 20mm 5×120 → 5×112 (72.6 → 57.1) S (JRWA1-20MM-BV-7257S)
- Forged Steel Japan Racing Nuts JN2 12×1.5 Black (JN2S-1215BK)
Why Upgrade With Japan Racing Spacers and Adapters?
Japan Racing is known for producing high-quality wheel accessories that are both reliable and visually appealing. The products are made to precise tolerances, ensuring they fit perfectly and perform as expected under a variety of driving conditions. In this case, the BMW 1 Series owner wanted to:
- Convert the PCD from 5×120 to 5×112, making it possible to mount new rims.
- Correct the hub size using hub rings for a vibration-free ride.
- Upgrade the look with forged steel lug nuts that add a more aggressive style while maintaining safety and durability.
The Installation Experience
The client shared four photos showcasing the Japan Racing adapters, hub rings, and lug nuts, as well as a final shot of the BMW 118i with its new setup. Here’s what they had to say:
“I recently ordered a rim adapter for France, and I promised to give you a little feedback once received and mounted. The assembly went perfectly well, the parts are of very good visual quality and precision, perfect.”
They also mentioned:
- Old Rims: 17″ BB black rims.
- Easy Fitment: Everything bolted on smoothly, thanks to accurate sizing and quality materials.
- Visual Quality: The new hardware complements the BMW 1 Series for a cleaner, more purposeful stance.
Before and After: BMW 1 Series Transformation with Japan Racing Spacers
While the client’s previous setup was functional, the new Japan Racing products have taken the BMW 118i to a whole new level. With the correct PCD conversion and hub centric rings, the wheels fit snugly without any vibration or alignment issues. The forged steel lug nuts add a touch of aggressive style and further secure the wheels in place.
Key Benefits:
- Eliminated Vibrations: Proper hub rings ensure the wheel is centered on the hub.
- Improved Fitment: PCD conversion makes it possible to mount a wider variety of wheels.
- Enhanced Style: Black lug nuts and aluminum adapters provide a sportier, custom appearance.
Final Thoughts: Japan Racing for Quality and Precision
For anyone looking to enhance their vehicle’s wheel fitment or update its aesthetic appeal, Japan Racing spacers, adapters, and lug nuts offer a reliable and stylish solution. As this BMW 1 Series project shows, small changes can lead to significant improvements in both appearance and driving feel.
