So I have had my car for about 8 months and just love it, these cars are amazing. I have done a search but not sure what I have read fits my situation.
My 05' 545i is bone stock with the sport package 18" style 124 wheels and want to get some wheel spacers for the car. Common sense tells me only on the rear wheels and somewhere around the 10-15mm spacers but need advise, I only like to do things once the right way.
What is the best size spacer without rubbing or rolling the fender lip and what brand is best cause I don't want a vibration at highway speed. I believe longer wheel studs are needed as well for this mod but want to hear from someone that has done it already. Finally does it help the steller handling the car has already.
Pictures are a plus if possible.
Thanks Steve

I have 10mm H&R spacers. It is giving some minor vibrations between 60 - 80 mph. I'm considering switching to the same vendor that Rizbel used for his 12mm spacers. Rizbel and I both have Style 166 wheels. For the 124s you should be fine with 15mm spacers. Lomag was running 15mm in the rear when he had his 124s.
