Wheel Spacers

I'm thinking about getting 12mm front, 15mm rear wheel spacers, primarily to help give a more aggressive cosmetic look.

Anybody done this setup yet? I've never had wheel spacers before and would appreciate any feedback from those with experience.

I just ordered 12mm and 15mm in the rear. After seeing that I’m thinking if I should be doing 15/15 or even 15/20 now. I ordered the mss springs so not sure if that changes the size I should do.

Ditto, that photo has made me think 15/20 isn't too much after all.

Any chance of a few more photos of the 15/20s? (love the frozen look by the way!!)

Looks nice, but personally I think the rears are touch too aggressive. Maybe it's just the pictures, but looks like a little to much poke compared to the bodyline. Lowered 1"-1 1/2" probably spot on. Wheel gap makes it look odd to my eyes. 12mm/15mm is where I think I am at. Do you get any shake, shimmy or vibrations?

Very, very nice ... spacers look just right to me, all personal taste of course.

that frozen colour looks lush ... but i bet its tough to keep clean, and i have serious OCD issues where car cleaning is concerned ... have to mull that one over.

thanks for the pics!

Thanks bud.
It's not a frozen paint job but rather a PPF Stealth wrap plus the whole car was Ceramic coated. So as far as keeping the car clean, it's quite opposite.

This is my thread on G05 X5 wheel spacer measurement.

I haven't done F95 X5M yet because I am still waiting on the MSS Spring.

Would I be able to use the 12mm future classic spacers from my 2020 m2C

Is it the same bolt pattern on x5m?

Looks like the spacers you have are what I would go with when I place my order next year.

I usually go after market wheels to achieve the aggressive stance, but the comp wheels seem to work well if spaces like you have done.

Side question... do you get harrassed/ ticketed for no front plate...?
