Quite a few members here, including myself, bought our spacers from Ben at RG Sport, he's one of the vendors here.
Here's his site - https://www.rgsportshop.com - or you can find him here on the forum and PM him. What type of vehicle - your profile says M5. Don't think you can run a 10mm on the front of an F15/F16. The most common setup with OEM 20's is 5mm front, 15mm rear. If you have a different size OEM or aftermarket wheel, then of course it's likely a different setup. Ben can help you with that too. |

Ive seen a thread where a guy was running 30mm in the back and 20mm up front. It looked a bit too aggressive. Im wondering if you can buy 25mm for the rear and 15mm up front? |

While we here. Does the spacers create any problems with excessive bearing wear or suspension wear. Some say they are not a good idea. But they look so good

If you buy cheap spacers and they are not perfect hubcentric, you will get vibrations and likely wear down hubs much faster. Also, if you go too wide with spacers, I'm sure it can cause issues. But we are talking about 5-30mm here, with a tire that is 275-325mm wide, depending on style. If that little difference can cause issues, I would be afraid of what high speed turns would do to the hubs/bearings during every day driving. Something I'm obviously not, since I use spacers (got them from Ben r33_RGSport) |

30mm in the rear is way too much IMO, unless you want a lot of poke. 20mm is about the max - again most people here go 15mm in the back with OEM 20's. And 20mm in the front is just laughable. Here's mine on OEM 20's - 5mm front, 15mm rear (I'm also lowered on Eibach pro-kit, FWIW). I'd like to have gone 10mm in the front, but I don't believe those sizes work and I can't recall why? https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...ostcount=11315 |

I’m running 20mm rear spacers on 21”OEM wheels and 15mm on the front and they are about as large as you want. They are level with the outside rim of the wheel arch which I wanted. I can send you photos if you want

15 in the back and nothing up front seems like the perfect bull dog stance. Ill post pics once I put them in. Need this crappy winter to pass before I change over the wheels and install the spacers. |

Can someone point me to a thread of pics of people with stock 19 MSports and spacers? I want to see if it's worth it or not. Thanks!
