If they are Hubcentric Spacers, I can't see any issues.
Unless someone knows of any problems? Of course, extended wheel bolts are a MUST.
I ran a whopping set of 35mm Spacers all round on my previous car for 3 years, and had no issues what so ever.
I'm going to be putting 5mm spacers on the front of my E60 soon too, and 10mm at the rears.

is it safe to put wheel spacers in the front??? ive been told by the old school guys that they do not suggest it because its not safe???
I don't even see that they would be needed with 19" wheels but the rears
could maybe have some 10 - 15 mm spacer depending on the rims ET's.
I'm just considering the 10 - 15 mm rear spacers for my 172 M rims,
they have a ET of 32.
What rims do you have?

Where did you get your spacers from?
How much did the rear ones cost?

Do you have any pics of your car with the new winter set up?
