Is your car an Xi?

I've got a set of 12.5mm Turners in the back - they make a good product, no problems But I have considered going 20mm myself.

Anyway, nice mod, man

OP, apologies for thread-crapping. As you were

15mm seemed to be the most common in my research, with several of those mentioning wanting to change to 18-20. With my measurements, 17.5mm seemed pretty close to what I was looking for.

Thanks, it's an 08 535 with sports pkg. Hard to get any decent pic angles in the garage. Didn't want to open the garage door since it was below freezing outside and I was in my boxer shorts with the heater running.
