spacers are aftermarket. i have H&R spacers myself. if you went with the 166s, the 12mm spacers are only needed in the rear to give that flushed look. the fronts are fine the way they are.

Thanks for the pic! You have the same model, year, and color car as I do, so that gives me a really good idea of how mine would look with 166's.

If I were you just side step the 19" and go straight to 20" wheels. ![Thumbsup](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/thumbsup.gif)

I still want the car to look somewhat stock, so I think aftermarket 20's might be too over-the-top. The 166's are nicer wheels that improve the appearence of the car without screaming "hey, look at me". Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
