I have 10mm rear nothing front. I found 15 rear too much, looked cheap.

For my 550i, when I installed KW V2 coilovers, I had to install 10mm spacers up front to clear the tire to coilover. 5mm didn't work since they were not hub centric. I had to roll my front fenders to avoid any rubbing.

Installed ECS tuning 17.5mm spacers in the rear. Looks great IMO.

Most I would go is 15mm. Looks great, and it's not an overkill.

I currently am running 10mm in the rear and nothing up front. The outcome looks nice. Not too over dramatic in the rear, but aggressive enough to look and handle superb. Anything more than 10mm would exceed being flush with the fender in the rear. Just my two cents.
