Spacers on 19" wheels

[Sphinx-3]

So i have an x-line with the 19" wheels.

I looked into the option of upgrading to 20" wheels staggered but of course my problem is the summer tires. I need all season tires and I drive a lot which will only mean 2 sets of tires per year... a bit to much!

All season tires are not available in runflats and I cant have non-runflat as i have no space for the spare ( third row )....

So bottom line I wanted to give the car a little aggressive look ( as much as I possibly can) and i thought of the spacers....


Any thoughts?

Spacers will make those skinny 19 rims look better - that's for sure. If you search, there was a photo on forum somewhere with 19 inch wheels with spacers - looked much better. RG_33Sport Ben can get you needed spacers

As for 20 inch staggered - they look much better and that's what I have with all-season Conti DWS 06. I drive with them everywhere from Canada to Arizona, in all weather conditions. I don't have spare tire too. I have a $10 fix-a-tire can. Unless you work in Uber lol - I fail to see why you need to have run-flat? Remember with Run-Flat you still have to fix your tire - it just gives you extra 30-40 miles to drive to nearest tire shop. Fix-a-tire can can do same (actually the fix-a-flat can allow you to drive almost indefinitely, but it may throw tire a bit off balance, so speed limits have to be observed). Just saying

Attached are 2 pics with 19'' on my M Sport from a while back. One before and one after I added 22.5mm spacers per wheel (i.e. 45mm total) on the rear axle.

Hi, I'm new on the forum and need to make a first post before I can access the PM's.
Anyway, I have a 2014 X5 50i, with the stock 19" rims and no fender extenders or whatever they are called.
So if r33_RGSport, wouldn't mind, send me a PM later on, with what spacers you recommend for my vehicle, and price.

Thank you,

I can?t send you a PM too.
Why don?t you send me an email with last 7 of your VIN to bchen@rgsport.com.

Ben, we 2014 owners - we don't have limitations on front hub that later year production has correct?

i threw some 19 inch wheels on my x5 for a little bit, and put some spacers on the rear. but i do have fender flares, so i needed them to come out to look better.
see this thread for pics.

Need to double check the VIN just to be sure.
Even with that, 15/20 setup is a tad to the aggressive side.

is the spacer effect driving feels? Like handling?

Yes, in positive ways.
