whats up just a quick question about to order wheel spacers just trying to figure out what size to do... i have a 08 550i with a sport package. should i do 10mm 15mm 18mm. i was thinking 10mm in the front and 15mm in the back, is that right? thanks

 

adding spacers will depend on what wheels you have on and the offsets of those wheels

 

i have 172's.... 19inch with 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the rear...

 

offsets in the rear are ET 32. you can add a 15mm spacer in the rear to have offset ET17, which would place the wheels flushed with the rear fenders. and if in the front if you are interested, you can add 5mm spacers to bring the offsets from ET18 to ET13. pm me for spacers

 

I have the factory 124's. I just added 10mm spacers on the front and 18mm in the rear. I didn't think they would make much of a difference but it was quite dramatic.

Mine came from Turner Motorsports w/bolts

 

can you share pics?

 

The best way is to add 15mm Spacers to the rear, this will make the rear flush and matches the front. I've actually measured the distance of the wheel to the fender for the front and rear and 15mm is the best size to go with since it compares to the front's gap by 2mm or 3mm. If you get the 12mm spacer, there's more gap to the fender compared to the front's by 5mm or so. So the best way is to close that gap by the least possible distance. Going 18mm will make the rear more sticking out than the front's so 15mm is definitely the way to go. There's no need to add spacers to the front as they're pretty flushed already. I have the H&R 15mm rear spacer on my 172s, and I like it. I bet you will also =)

 

hope that helps

 

yea thanks man i think imma do the 15mm in the rear and then later on if i feel i need the fronts ill do it then... thanks

 

Sure, here's a few pics I just snapped
