15mm Front
20mm Rear

Enjoy and feel free to PM me for questions and inquiry.

Update: 15mm Front and 20mm Rear only fit on the F15 X5 before MY11/14 only!!!
For MY11/14 and after, 5mm Front and 15mm Rear is the recommended size.


Here is the picture on 5mm Front and 15mm Rear.
What is the smallest spacer that would be safe for the rear? I see a bunch of folks have installed the 15mm spacer. H&R has a 12mm spacer, but would that risk bottoming out on the lip? I have an X-line without the wheel arch flare, so I don't want my tire sticking out past the wheel arch. I want to push the rear wheels out slightly, but not too much. thanks,
