My 15 mm front spacers broke when I torqued them down.
You couldn't tell while installed but easily noticeable once the wheel was removed. When I removed the wheel to check on the damage the wheel and tire fell straight to the floor. Be careful when removing your wheel if the hub has broken there will be nothing to hold the wheel in place once the bolts have been removed. |

I use two alignment rods that help prevent this from happening. They also help when re-installing the wheels, as these 20's (especially the rears) are rather heavy.

The 5mm front is just to see what is the best combo. I did check the 10mm, it won't since it has the hub lip. While the 5mm is just slide on. I am hoping 5mm and 15mm will look as good.

I'm pretty happy so far with the 20s in the rear.
I thought they might have been too aggressive at first, but now after seeing the car being driven and from a distance the 20s definitely give it a bulldog look. Flush with the wheel arches. I think 5 mm in the front will get it almost flush to the front wheel arches. I just received the painted front reflectors from Ben. Now I can't wait to get the 5 mm spacers so that I can do both jobs at once ! |

Here is the picture with 5/15mm combo.
I think it looks really good.

Looks good Ben. I've still gotta pull a wheel this weekend and check my front hubs. Been too busy to spend any time in the garage.

Update: 15mm spacer will fit on the F15 X5 front for production date before 11/14.
After MY11/14, BMW changed the front hub where 15mm spacer won't sit flush against the brake rotor hat.

Still loving the look and stance on the 15/20 & ACS springs on mine. IMO, the height and stance is the way it should ship from factory.

Is your X5 Sdrive, or does it have an earlier production date? My X5 is Xdrive '16 so I couldn't use the 15 fronts. RGsport sent me the 5 mm for the front and even though they are thin, it pushes the wheel and tire to almost flush with the fender. I'm very happy with my 5/20 MM set up with M adaptive suspension ride height. Ben, I still have the extended bolts to send back to you. |
