hi there :hyper: im new to this forum ive got a 535d m sport i just wanted to know what correct wheel spacers i would require for the 19" oem 172 staggered alloys the front are not so bad but the rear is lost in the wheel arch.

can using spacers be dextrimental to the bearings as someone who warned me against this?

i want to go out as much as possible.

ive just had a complete dpf removal kit inc decat and remap!

Now i need to give it that aggresive look , any pics of cars done so that i can get an idea pls would really appreciate it!

pics bad quality used my humble phone apologies all.


(i like the oem style at the moment so its not as great looking as some of the other cars here

Nice 535 there bud.
I'm looking to do the same actually and was thinking of going 12mm front and rear, but have seen some pics of others (on another forum!) That have gone 12 front and 15 rear.
But glad you asked and will monitor responses and pics ;-)

surely oem wheels don't need spacers etc?

Depends if you're happy with the horizontal oem gap between outside of the wheel and inside of the wheel arch? :whistle:

I never though of adding spacers to my wheels, i would like to see some pics also of how they would look on the 172's.

I've got 18mm spacers on the rear. I have 10mm for the front, but I installed them then took them off. Looks fine just like it is. Still planning to put the Dinan stage 3 suspension on that will drop me about 3/4". That'll put me over the top for badge points too. :smile:

Looks nice with the spacers. What Dinan part do you have? i was thinking about doing the cheapest upgrades to get the Dinan 5 badge LOL

Only cheap way to get a badge is to cheat and buy one off ebay. That'll still cost you around 250 bucks. I've got the intake, throttle body and stage 3 tune which puts me at 7 points and around 2K into it. The suspension is 1700 parts only and gets me another 5 points to put me over the top.

I want to get a few Dinan parts but not right now, maybe next year ill do tune, intake, exhaust or suspension.
