wow! I have the rogue engineering wheel spacers originally installed on my 03 330i zhp. front is just right but the rear needs to be pushed more. i was thinking 15mm would be enough, but your saying 24mm will still work. i still have the stock wheels and tires. do you have any other pictures on your rear set up so i can see how much gap you have on those 20mm? thanks.

btw, to the origal poster of the topic, rogue engineering comes with the bolts.
My 20mm's are with non-sport dropped with H&R springs. They look pretty good. No rubbing, etc.
Go wide....

thanks for all the info guys

I went to group5 today and ordered some 15mm spacers and bolts , Im going to return those and go with the 20mm.

I rather have the studs going into the hub rather than a spacer like the set up on the 25mm + spacers.

Hello Gentlemen ~

Im in the market for some rear spacers , I want to push these babies outward.
I really want to go with the 15mm spacer.

what brand spacer would you recommend?
what type of lug nut would I need in order to have a safe amount of thread on the stud?

thanks~
What is the emblem on you trunk ??

The difference between 15mm and 20mm is less than a 1/4 inch. You will not regret it.
Don't forget the offsets though. I have OEM #166 wheels. A different wheel may have a different offset which would affect the overall look.

the stock rims I have on right now have that straight profile , I think it will look pretty good almost flush with the body and that rim profile.

Dont forget to use the anti-seize, or those spacers will never come off.
