Wheel spacers recommendation

Recdog11 · 10-13-2015, 08:27 PM

Hey guys,

Just curious as I start my mod addiction on this new x5..id like to widen out the wheels (stance) for now Before I get..the 599m 21" WHEELS AND Pirelli TIRES...( will be soon, just not right now)

Are H&R spacers recommended and what widths. I did a search but didn't seem to see anything concrete on this.

Thanx!!!

I take that back, I just saw a thread from x5Jouster H&R 30mm all around looks awesome.

Alan l. · 10-13-2015, 08:41 PM

Personally I would go with 20mm max. 30mm makes the wheels stick out too much and looks funny with stock wheels.

Nice. Look forward to seeing your car around. Those 599M wheels are sweet!
get dealer to install the grill, if you can.

I have an extra unused pair of 22.5mm H&R spacers for the F15 ... was asking $168 including
Shipping to USA addresses, but just tonight put them on 27% off sale so as soon as the
sale activates they will be $122.64

Ok got it. Thanks!

Wouldn't the race chip be a better and less expense choice vs. MPPK? I have a 2015 i35d

kanvas · 10-14-2015, 12:58 AM

Those 599s are going to look very nice.. looking forward to photos!

Do you have the 35d or 35i?
AFAIK, no MPPK for the 35d, then RaceChip is your only best bet.

Recdog11 · 10-14-2015, 11:55 AM

Just spoke to H&R and they don't have spacers for F15.

guy at H&R said nothing approved yet ...so what are people selling then?
??

The car is the same as E70 X5.
You can use the same spacer. I have sold a bunch of them without any issues.
H&R said that because X5 is not a big market for them, so they didn't put the F15 on priority for testing.

viperdoc · 10-14-2015, 12:31 PM

using spacers, do you need longer lugs? I imagine you would, especially if you are using 20mm+ spacers

Alan l. · 10-14-2015, 12:55 PM

Yes. Longer bolts are always required when you are running spacers.

Recdog11 - I am running 15mm H&R spacers in the rear without any issues. Fits perfect. up front you need to go at least 15mm or it won't clear the hub. I tried going with a H&R 12mm it didn't work in my case.

Recdog11 · 10-14-2015, 02:20 PM

I'd like to get 15mm up front and 20mm rear... Just have to find them I guess..

Doanster · 10-14-2015, 02:28 PM

ECSTuning also has spacers for our F15s.

Alan l. · 10-14-2015, 02:34 PM

^^ Yes. I get my spacers from them because they have packages with extended bolts which makes it easy for me. Plus they are on the east coast so shipping takes 1-2days tops.

I bought a complete set of 4 shipped from Germany ... two are the 15mm DR type
with longer bolts that you use instead of the stock bolts, and two are the 22.5mm
DRA type, which also come with bolts, but on those you use the supplied bolts
in addition to the stock bolts (see pics below) ...

I had intended to use the 15 on front and 22.5 on rear, but decided to just use
the 15mm on the rear ... that's why I have the 22.5mm pair available.

Below is a pic of the 15mm on my 19" 467M wheels ... the bigger ones would look
better, I am sure, but I am going leave them this way

my eBay listing $122 including shipping
