RG Sport - Spacers on F15/F16 X5/X6 F85/F86 X5M/X6M

[daytonaviolet]

Can you take a pic view front front. I believe mine will be similar if i was not lowered. Neg camber causes the wheels to tuck in the fender. I know this, that's why I went from 5mm spacer stock height to 15mm when lowered.

I have been offered a set of Eibach 12mm spacers for cheap for my rears (20x10 275/40 ET40), does anyone know what length of wheel bolt I would need, preferably in mm if possible? I don't have the flared wheel arches so I'm just looking to match the rear with the fronts which are the same size wheel....or would 5mm spacers be enough?

12mm spacer uses 43mm lug bolts.
That is shank length.

Not sure if 5mm will be good for you. It looks like it will.

Thanks, I'll look for 43 mm if I go that route, but I think I might try to somehow measure what I have now; I don't want to buy the 5 mm and think it's too small and miss out on the 12 mm deal, but at the same time I don't want them to stick out either

Is it just me then?

Little disappointed. I'll be taking these off immediately and selling them with the lugs. Probably going to just go 0/15, or potentially 3/15. Too bad H&R doesn't sell 5 or 10mm.

Send me those 15s and let me see if I have the same problem on my fronts

Price for 5 front and 20 rears please.

Would this setup affect driving dynamics?

2015 X5 35d M-Sport
19" M-Sport Wheels squared setup.

Thanks!

Edit: Please send price for asc springs also.

Hey Ben, I've got a '15 X5 35i MSport with 467M wheels. What spacers would you suggest to get close to flush/a little aggressive?

Can you PM me the last 7 of VIN? I need to see whether you are running square or staggered on that 19".

I believe its square.

Just replied.
Do confirm on the tire sizes.
Based on your VIN, you are on staggered.

Hi Ben,

New to the site and joined to be able to post.

I have read every single post on these 17 pages. Based on the earlier post, you recommended 5/15, but discovered that 15 fits in the front around pages 10-12.

Anyhow, I have the same exact model with the 19” wheels and hate how the m sports fender flares come out so much while the wheels are so tucked in. I want the rears out as much as possible without it sticking past the flares.

It seems the safe / conservative choice is 5/15, but I want it more aggressive (maybe 5/20) without having the change to bigger wheels. Adding spacers seem to be the best bang for buck.

Here is my vin #5UXKROC56FOP13904.

Can you please quote me on both sizes with bolts and anti seize (i believe its included now?). Im in the bay area (milpitas / san jose).

Hi,
Can I get a bit of advice as I have managed to confuse myself over the many pages about the correct spacer set up. I have a 40d msport with 469m 20 wheels. I managed to get some h &r lowering springs for an absolute steal and want to get some spacers when all is changed over.
What sizes do you think I should go for?
I was think 5/15?
Many thanks

5/15 is conservative setup.
While 15/20 is a little aggressive, but perfect if you are lowered.

Photos? I am torn on which way to go on my X5M w/ 612M wheels.
Dinan Suspension which is quite conservative so I do not want any poke but would like to get as close to flush as possible.
