I recently was given a set of Beyern 18" wheels with a 5x120 bolt pattern for my 2008 535i. The problem is that the wheels have a 30mm offset and will not fit the car as is.

Has anyone had experience using wheel spacers? I am interested in the pro's/con's of using spacers.

Thanks,

Do a search, spacers have been covered on here many times lots on here use them.

I use them...No cons myself however, there are some rules to follow... Specify size of spacers that you are planning to use.

For wheels with a 30mm offset, I am thinking I need at least 15mm spacers. Any suggestions?

With a 15mm, you will be fine. Remember to use longer bolts.

15mm spacers should work fine with extended lugs.
