Wow, good searching.? It looks so much better.? It brings them out to help match the front.? That is why I ddin't touch the front at all.? If you can't get the spacers in Belgium for whatever reason, I will gladly order them for you.

Hey Guys,
This was talked about a little back in the earlier days of the forum but I haven't seen it mentioned much lately. The wheels seem to be pushed in much too far as compared to the wheel well, especially the rears.
I've been considering getting spacers from H&R but am conflicted on the sizes. I was thinking either:
5mm front, 12mm rear
-OR-
10mm front, 15mm rear
Has anyone done this and do you have any recommendations? I believe the 10mm front and 15mm rear will put the wheels nearly flush with the wheel wells but that might push them out "too much" for me.
I guess its a personal choice, but, any comments?

Yep, 15mm looks perfect for the rears. Did you put any in the front? If so, what size?
And wow, a mystic blue with the areo kit. A preview of what my car will look like in about 2 weeks. AWESOME! Can't wait!!

[/quote]Was not a big fan of mystic blue on a standard E60, but I must say that it looks fantastic with the sports package! And the 15mm seems to be perfect.

My Ride: 530I, Alpine White, Beige Dakota Leather, Premium Package,Xenon Headlights, 19 x 8.5 front, 19 x 9.0 rear wheels, 245/40R-19 front, 275/35R-19 rear run-flat tires.
Does any one know what the offset is on a BMW wheel type 121 for 6 Series is? I used to have this wheels on my car and exchanged them for type 128 but I liked the offset of the 121 a lot more than the 128, the wheels were almost at the lip.
