Hello

I am running 166 M6 offset OEM wheels on my 550 in the summer and OEM 124's in the winter. I want to make the 124's more flush like the 166 are

What size spacers do I need for the front and back to make this look right?

Thanks!

I just installed 15mm spacers on the rear this morning (front was left stock). Here are three quick snaps off my iphone - quality is terrible, but maybe it will give you an idea. It's all relative, but as of now, the car's stance looks "right" to me, except that I think this car would look "righter" with 19s and a 1.25" drop. IMHO Pushing 18" wheels out further on this car, without different skirts, would give it that late 80s Sir Mix a Lot Posse's on Broadway look.

Would you mind if i asked where you got the spacers from and what they cost?
