just tell me where and im there,what size spacers should i use and where to get them from
If you want, you can use a ruler and see how much space you have. You can start with a 10mm set first. Try it in the rear and see. If you need more, put the 10's up front and order a set of 12's for the rear. That's what I might do. But again, I can't tell how much room you have, so 10 might be too much. The smallest they make is 5mm.
I'll PM you details on the meet. Or just look at my signature.

that looks HOT...what suspension you running?
C is right a spacer would make it look a lot better, i think you could definitely fit at least a 5mm back there. if i were you i would try a 5mm first, if that doesnt rub you could put it on the fronts and try a 8mm or 10mm in the rear next. i recommend you get the spacers from modbargains.com though they have the best shipped price, i got mine from them after doing a lot or searching, they also have spacers/bolts packages.

My Ride: 2008 Alpine White 550i Sport, Cream Beige Interior, 6-Sp Manual - retired 9/2011
Assuming a "normal" ride height, and if they're E60 19" 128's (ET20 in front, 8" rim) then the front could use up to about 12mm, assuming you are using the standard 245 tire. But I wouldn't go over 10mm, just to be sure.
In the rear (ET32, 9.5" rim), you can use up to 15mm..with 275 tire. But that sucker is dropped big time, so you might want to try a 10 or 12mm instead. You should be fine. Personally, I think it's a big TOO low, but still looks good!
I have H&R's.
