I have a 2021 X5 40i with 22” stock wheels. I need suggestions regarding spacer size for rear and fronts at a stock height. I will appreciate if someone can share pictures as well. I really want to flush these rear wheels in that wide fender.

Thanks

You'll get varied input based on everyone's preference, but a lot of gone with 12mm front / 15 rear, or 15mm front / 20mm rear for a somewhat aggressive fit. This has also been discussed in this thread:

Hit up Ben r33_RGSport and he can help you out with getting something for your X5 as well as provide recommendations. Post pics when you've installed your spacers!

15/20mm spacers on 742M, 22” staggered. I would have gone 20/25mm. But good enough. Took over 500 miles. No shakes, vibrations.

I’m at stock height with the 22” 747M wheels, which have the same specs as the other 22” options. I have 12mm F and 15mm FC spacers.

Note: I have the 20” 748M wheels for winter, for those I would choose 12F/25R.

Front is flush:


Rear is almost flush (18mm would work):

I am thinking to go with 12f/15r after talking to Ben r33_RGSport.

Do you mind sharing zoomed out pictures of your car for me to get an idea of the look? Thanks

I just snapped these for you in my garage, not the best pics. Also, it must be the angle I’m taking the pics at, but they look a lot more flush in person:

I have Future Classic (from IND) 12mm Front and 15mm Rear spacers on mine with the 742m rims and really like it. It is lowered on H&R springs.

Curious, how did the ride change when you lowered it?

Well, I also went from 20"s to 22"s at the same time so it is difficult to say. The ride is a bit stiffer than before, but I know the 22"s are probably having the greatest impact on the ride. I actually like the ride much better with the 22"s and lowering springs as there seems to be less body roll in the turns and and the X5 feels more responsive and planted without sacrificing a nice ride. Hope that helps.

I also have the 22s from factory. It does ride a little stiffer ,but I thought about lowering it to take a little body roll out of it so you answered my question. Thank you.
