Anyone Using Spacers?

[Moopai]

Anyone using spacers with their OEM 20" M-Wheels for more aggressive look? if yes, what size of spacers are you using? Are you experiencing any vibration?

I've been looking Into this for some time. Seems the recommendation has been 15MM Front and 20MM Rear.

I plan to pick up a set soon.

If you're going to use spacers make sure you get hubcentric ones. That will minimise the chances of vibration.

I haven't used them for a while as not had the need for them. But when I did I used H&R hubcentric. 15mm all round for me but this was on a different car.

Also make sure you get the longer bolts.

I got 12 mm all the way around no vibration what so ever and car takes corners better as well

Damn that looks good. I just ordered (4) 15mm and after seeing your pictures I think I should've went with 12mm

Thanks for posting the pictures, your car looks great. Your wheels are the 20" OEM correct? What brand of spacers are you using. How long you've had them on? I think your tires are flushed front and back but could you please confirm? Could you post a side picture?

I originally put 15's on but quickly took them off because they stuck out too far and I was afraid of rocks shooting up and scratching front doors and rear quarter panels also they sat out so far that I didn't want the car to look so obnoxious that it losses it's class I mean it's a 7 series and I didn't want to cheapen the car and have it looking like a challenger or charger !!! Lol no offense to any mopar owners

No that's next on the to do list after exhaust work that's getting done at this very moment

What year is your car? Interesting that you have a side sensor on the rear bumper! My car doesn't have it. Did BMW introduce the extra sensor on the side after the 2016 production model?

It's a 16 I believe sensor is for side collision detection I have a 16 and a 18 both have it idk if there is a option that your car doesn't have maybe or are u in Canada or U.S maybe that's the difference not sure

I have a 15mm all round but my car is lowered so I think I will change to 20mm in the rear and keep the 15mm on the front.

Looks much better!

I have Spacers on my lowered F0 and also on my X5 xDrive50i. Zero issues whatsoever. If anything, improved handling and cornering.

I’m toying with the idea of 15mm front and 20mm rear along with some lower links on my otherwise stock G11 fitted with 648s

The adverts on eBay include longer wheel nuts. Assuming the standard one are too short? What do you guys do about locking wheel nuts?

Can you post some pictures?
