Love the look of the 12mm spacers. Can't imagine 15mm being better. Even thought everyone says 15mm is the way to go, it may look to far pushed out
IMO.
Go with the 12mm!

Now that I have the 12mm spacers on the rear, I questioning whether I should add 3mm spacers to the front.
Thoughts? You think I might rub up front? Just looking to move the fronts out a TINY bit.
Thanks for your ideas!

My Ride: SOLD...Jet Black 2008 550i M Sport with SAT, black interior. RPI exhaust and air scoop, 35% huper optik tint all around, CF roundels, flat black kidneys, Springfield Armory XD-40 jet black in glove box, charcoal filter removed.
For comparison I ordered 5mm for front and 15mm for rear from Nerweezy last week. Once they arrive and I install them, I'll post pic's here to, before and after, for comparison to the 12mm and 3mm (if you go that route).
Sound cool to you OP?
