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.

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 ??

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.
I don't think the shop used any.
