Wanted to find out what type and size spacers members are running on?

I am personally contemplating putting 12mm Rogue spacers on my 550i. Has anyone put on spacers and wish they hadn't?? I just feel my back wheel is tucked in a little too much for my taste!

spacers for cosmetic looks. makes the wheel fill out the wheel well a bit more. just make sure that anti-seize is sprayed on them before install so it will be easier to take them off in the future if needed. ive had H&R spacers for my last set of wheels

Rogue 12mm here also. Makes the wheel look a little wider too. I don't have any pics that show what you want, but trust me...you will love the look!
+1 on the Anti-seize lube.

As I just posted in another thread... I just did 10mm front and 18mm rear (124 wheels) and love the look.

What is the deal with anti-seize.

Is the purpose to keep it from sticking to the rotor or to the rim/wheel itself? Also how is it applied...do you cake it on the axle or the spacer itself?
Thx

yes so it is easier to pull them off later on. just spray the spacer itself with the anti-seize before putting it on
