Thank you Gene, from one of our Hispanic members Now time to go add the nice velour interior to my car (leather is nice, but some crushed velvet really sets the mood )

I went 18mm all around and loved it! Looks even more aggressive if you lower it!

Check it out!

Wow that looks great with the 18mm spacers. I've never seen them that aggressive. I actually think that looks better than the Breytons. What drop do you have?

The typical rear spacer size on M5 166's is 10mm. As far as I read on the M5Board when I had mine, that is the widest recommended size for max push. I am not sure how 18's are not rubbing.

for our M5 customers who kept the stock wheels and just wanted to push them out more, we've done 12mm in front and 10mm in rear
