It wont damage your car provided they are hub centric and that you measure the gap so you can size it correctly... if you do this they will not rub.

It is imperative you get the right size bolts with the new spacers. Must be approximately 8 revolutions to screw in completely. I have been running 15mm spacers on the rear with same set up for 3 years with no problems. Good luck

I think Michael of Acute Performance has a thread on the spacers that he carries and it has a guide on how to measure. You can also go to Turner website and check it out. I believe they also have a guide on how to measure.

I bought 15mm rears and 12.5mm front spacers from Turner Motorsport for my 545i.
I also bought the extended bolts (as the regular ones do not fit.)
The car looks great, and I have no issues at all.
It makes the car look much better.

you will need to know the offsets of your current wheels in order to find out the size of spacer desired. but for a rough estimation you can take a ruler and measure from the tire outward toward the fender to the nearest millimeter how far you would like it pushed out.
