You could be right with the 20mm spacers and have no problems what so ever. From my experience, it was nice to have a wider track but not have to worry about rubbing. Good luck
Thanks for your fast reply.
I ordered the H&R 20mm spacers from www.kfzteile24-shop.de.
I'll try it out and let you know, how it fits.

I am also very interested in your outcome, as I am also considering OEM 19 inch wheels for my T

I do have 15 mm spacers in the back at the moment, but would definitely not mind a further 5 mm enhancement if you know what I mean, lol

I still can't believe that you gave in to the V8... Your E61 kicked ass.

Car's had a bit of a clean so I thought I'd upload a few pics with the new wheels and ACS rear difusser.

Great choice of rims and diffuser -- looks great

Any chance of you taking another picture of the rear in direct day light? Its a little difficult to see the difusser in the shaddow.

The H&R 20mm spacers have arrived.
I hope they fit the 9.5 J x 19" double spoke 172's.
I'll mount them in the coming weekend.
Pics will follow.

Lets see a pic of the diffusor without shadow.

Before I got the CF diffusor from ///Marco.it, I thought about that same ACS part. And you E61 is the same color as mine.
