Where is everyone buying their spacers these days?

[Bmwtechgeek]

Looking to 20 in the back and 10 up front.

Anyone else run this setup?

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.

Its for my wife's 2017 F15. Cant stand the way the car looks without spacers on the 20's.

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

Get a yardstick, cut it to just longer than tire is tall, hold it against the side of the tire and see where you end up compared to the top of fender/fender with flares.

Anything is possible... Though I have been running spacers on different vehicles for years, not had any issues.
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)

Agreed, the stock 20's/21's are tucked in too far if you're looking for a more aggressive stance.

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?

Looks perfect

Is anyone running 20mm in the back and 15mm up front?

[X5M50D]

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

That would be great

[Bmwtechgeek]

I picked up a set of 15mm just for the rear. Lets see how that goes.

If you decide to go 5s in the front I'm probably gonna be selling a pair.

Not sure what's the point in adding 5 up front? I doubt its even noticeable.

5/15 is a very popular setup with the F15/16. I’ve noticed mine everyday

Yea they're not a huge difference. Maybe see how it is with nothing up front and 15s in back. I got the 5s because the next size up for H&R is 12mm and thought that would be too much.

I just like the "bull dog" stance.

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!

Just put 15mm in the back and its perfect.

[Ascotgrun]

I got mine from Amazon/Ebay. I put 20mm in the back and 15mm up front.
