My Ride: Jet Black 545i
Thanks guys.
Yes what he said! Sometimes spacers cause vibrations etc... that's why I was so happy to not need any and still have that agressive look.
Thanks for the reminder cobradav, I completely forgot about the sig!
Spacers are installed between the wheel and the hub so that the wheel sticks out more, usually to become flush with the fenders, which typically are out further than the wheels. It helps the stance just a bit because it is about 20mm wider overall (wheel to wheel) but moreover it is for appearance - to have the wheels flush with the fenders. Porsche owners do it all the time, and Porsche itself uses them on some special edition vehicles.

tomwid,
The car looks sick bro!
With 20's you could get away with the Sport springs, but with 19's it's almost mandatory. I'm talking only from an aesthetics point of view as I know you don't want your ride to suffer, but damn, your car will be that much hotter if slammed.

Just want to add, his post sounds humorous but the information is accurate and is good advice. Hubcentric spacers/wheels are a MUST for this car.
