Does anyone have spacers w/ Iforged wheels?? right now in the rear i have 20x10" Iforged wheels (non bbk) and am pretty much slammed on on coilovers (can only fit one finger between wheelwell and tire), but i feel that the stance is not wide enough in the rear and want to get 10mm spacers...do u guys think i will have problems w/ rubbing?? I currently do not rub at all!!!

in my opinion, u can try to put spacers in and see what happend. at the meet yesterday at wheel power, iceman316's car had no space in the back, his tire was tuck inside his fender. i guess you can ask around or ask the heavy modders here like EuroCarFan

:'( I actually have no experiences with spacers so I'm clueless. You should ask Vegastrashed.
But now that you've brought it up, I've never noticed how my rear tires look and I have coilovers as well....

Can you post a picture of the rear? What are the dimensions of your rear tires?

I've thinking about spacers for my E60 as well. Just curious... Wouldn't 5mm visual impact be sooooo small that it's not worth doing?

Yeah, you're right ericdbs. I think that with 20x10 that bstandardz might not be able to put on 10mm spacers. Maybe 5mm might work.

The issue of spacers depends on a few variables i.e. wheel size, wheel offset, tire size, and springs. For example, with Style 166 wheels (9.5x19), offset 28 and 275/30/19 tires, and H&R Sport springs, I can use spacers anywhere from 5mm - 12mm.
Since you have Rad R10s which are bigger and wider wheels, you might rub with 10mm spacers. Asethically, your wheel & tire setup already gives you the appearance of a wider stance. The 5mm spacers in this case might just be right for you to flush your rear wheels to the fender without rubbing.
I know that Rizbel has almost the same setup as mine. He has 166s, 275/30/19s, H&R coilvers, and 12mm spacers. After installation of the coilovers he was rubbing. He removed the 12mm spacers and is looking into getting 5mm.
