I've never even seen 17mm spacers before.

Me neither.

OP, what about having a machine shop mill a few mm off of your 20's? My friend had his flywheel milled down like 6mm and they only charged him 20 bucks. Might be worth a shot...

EDIT* If you get desperate, I have some 10mm H&R's I'd trade for your 20's :)

I think he's thinking ECS Tuning. They sell odd ball sized spacers. http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E36-M3-S52_3.2L/Suspension/Wheel_Spacers/

12.5mm, 17.5mm, etc.

BINGO haha. Yeah I got my stuff from them in the first place... I was actually thinking about having them milled down a bit, but Im just afraid the bolts will still be too long and may hit the hub... Thats why Im looking for a straight trade...

I know, I dont want to do it, but its fucking up my wheels, and scaring my passengers. They think my car is falling apart already because its a stiff ride, and my tires rub sometimes :shifty

yeah exactly, and I have some negative camber, so if I get the smaller spacers, and zero out my rear camber, I should still have some good flushness.

I know, we'll see what happens tho, I know a guy at a verry good shop. He mentioned cutting out the excess metal from after the fenders were rolled, for a little more clearance... Im tempted...
