Tint film can make a difference, make sure you get something with a lifetime warranty and you'll be set, as only good manufacturers offer that. As for spacers, I've been looking myself, but I believe Michael from Acute Performance sells/recommends "Turner Motorsport" spacers from what I've read. Here's a link to their site: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/BMW-...mw-wheels.aspx and one on Michael's site: http://www.acuteperformance.com/Whee.../Wheel-Spacers
I would suggest trying to PM Michael as he's very helpful around these forums and I'm sure would be able to answer your questions on spacers.
Hope this helps!

I got my tints done this past summer at Endless Details.. and they did a GREAT job. I had and still have 0 complaints. Didn't take too long and they did a quality job. You can't go wrong.
Sorry, can't help you with spacers.. I'm not using them. :-)

Over here we have a person that works metal and he makes them to measure! Only costs 60 $!!
Anyway, with your setup (18" and not lowered) you could even go 100mm and not rub :-)
The way to go would be somewhere between 15 and 20 mm, any of them will work, just depends on how far you want your wheel to come out, so just measure for pleasure, but I wouldn´t worry about rubbing at all.
If you are lowering the car in the future, things might change, but you´ll have to see it then...

I just bought and installed spacers from NeRwEEzy (Trinity Autosport). These are "no name" German made spacers. I am sitting on 18s (Winter tires) and got 12mm/20mm front/back. Easy to install, no rubbing and no vibration. With these installed 18s look so much better. I haven't dropped the car but plan on doing that before summer. Also plan on getting 19 or 20s to work with the 12mm/20mm setup as I don't want to take them off each time.
