Well...just got my Rogue 12 mm spacers ordered. Next stop, the parts store for the anti-seize. Should be here in 2 days. I am assuming it is just as simple as taking wheel off, putting new longer bolts on with spacer (with anti-seize sprayed on) and then wheel goes back on.
Anyone put them on themselves and want to offer any advice or suggestions?
Thanks for everyones input

I'm driving AWD and having H&R spacers, front 10mm and rear 20mm. Could have gone 25mm in rear but didn't wanna take a risk going too wide what looks stupid and spoils expensive car.

I was unable to find the spray anti-seize so I bought the paste. Just found out from Rogue today that black bolts aren't in stock so have to wait awhile longer. Glad I paid extra for 2 day shipping!!! Thanks for the advice.
"The advantage of the Rogue's is that they have a beveled edge for easier removal, if they do get stock on".....This is part of the reason I bought the Rogue ones.
DrLev99.....nice car. As an aside, just ordered my M5 mirrors (my car is T.Silver, similar to Silverstone) so nice to see what my car will look like.

I put my H&R spacers on about 2 years ago. I never used anti-seize. I can't wait until I need to remove my spacers before I turn in the vehicle.
Why take them off. Chances are BMW wont notice when you turn the car in.
