Cool, thanks man, so you put 10mm spacers in the rear, but none in the front because you have rubbing issues (I do to! when making sharp turns) yet I still want to have at least 5mm more to the front on each side to make it more flush also. You are on sport package suspension so do you think if you're car was lowered on h&r sport by 0.7" that it would rub. Can you post some pics of the rear please. thanks
What the hell is that?? This weather is no good. Gotta keep the car clean here in So Cal and Mother nature is not cooperating. I don't know how you east coasters do it.

I'll post some pics as soon as all this friggin' rain and winter weather stops here in California. I saw a f'ing snowflake on my dash display the other day :thumbsdown:

Ok, now that the rain has stopped here in So Cal (for now) I got out and put a fresh coat of wax on my 530i. Plus, the rears now have a 10mm spacer. What do you think?

Nice pics mate !!
Is it me or............
the rears sit perfectly in the arches, nice depth, almost flush ( this is without spacers right ? )
the fronts on the other hand look odd as they are quite a way inside the arch by comparisson ?
I could almost be tempted with a set of these until I can afford some Hamann Rims

The rears have a 10mm spacer. The fronts do not have a spacer. I was thinking of getting a set of 5mm or 8mm for the fronts. The first pic on this post is of the wheels without spacers.
