What would be the best spacers for a 467M setup. Was thinking 25mm. Got any links where they could be bought?

If I did my math correctly, you will need 25mm front and 20mm rear, just to bring it flush to the fender.

This seems to be a nice tool to visualize wheel set up for different tire width, offset, and spacers

Not a big fan of the side vents?

Btw, have you guys looked into the renegade top and trunk spoilers, what u think of those?

No, I didn't have to take out the bumper for the exhaust?

I personally think the side vents are tacky.

Never heard of Renegade..

arrgg...just bought the OEM front lip off ebay since they are having a 20% off anything sale...maxes out at $100 but I was able to find the front lip from BMW of Newton for $1189 with the $100 off brought me to $1089 shipped.

Code on ebay is PSPRING20, it's good till 8pm PST! ~30 min to go! Buy some mods folks!

Found another one for nearly the same price: https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-M-Perfo...xUU~l6&vxp=mtr

Was bored so I decided to try to black out my rear roundel with plasti dip.

Came out decent. I'm sure it would have looked much better if I took my time.

Nice mod!

Anyone have a carbon black X5 with carbon fiber mirror caps installed? I've got the rear diffuser coming, so I'm trying to think of a way to tie it together with the front if need be.

Na, I don’t really like the front lip. Sticks out too far.

Word. I ordered it impulsively last night. It might go up in FS shortly after it arrives.

How's your weather in Ontario? Montreal is still crappy. March 15 winter tire law is over but I'm still betting on one more storm by April

25 in front? i dont think thats right.

with a 25 to 30mm in rear, it will look good. its the rear wheel that looks far in from the fender flare.

That's what my calculation came up to.
It was compared to my HRE setup and all other setup that I always recommended.
I cross checked it with the online calculator too and it is confirmed that I am not crazy. Haha.

I was in Boston during that time and drove home through it. Wife was so sad to find out that snow closed down the outlet mall.

For stock 19 inch wheels with extended flares, I think just the rear needs to be pushed out.
See my thread here where I test fitted some rear spaces.
