Hello! I finally got my oem 166 m5 wheel in m5 offsets powder coated to gunmetal. I'm planning to put 285/30/19 and 245/35/19 Hankook Ventus V12. My car is 530i sport and currently on size 18 wheel with 12mm spacers. Should I leave the 12mm spacers in the rear to look more fender flush with the 285/30/19? Pls help. Thanks

i'd say put the 19s on with the spacers and see if you like them.

Given that your rears are ET28, putting a 12mm spacers would get you ET16
I'd say put the spacers on, big big difference and you're still within the safe offset.

I got a 19x9.5 rear set at ET20 with 10mm rogue spacers on (ET10) and still clear the unrolled fenders.

I'm lowered on KW V2 at 1 finger gap.
