Wheel Spacers on F95 X5M LCI

Hi Guys,
curious to see if anyone has installed spacers on the LCI?
@ to the guys who have them installed on the pre-LCI what are your thoughts/feedback? What would be the recommended width front + rear?
Pictures would be appreciated

Thanks
HMN

ignore my ignorance, but what is LCI?

r33_RGSport has a thread about spacers in the wheel section and what is an aggressive setup vs something more casual.

12mm and 15mm is the more casual setup.

LCI is the facelifted version (life cycle impulse)
What would an aggressive setup look like? In my head i'm looking at a 15mm vs 20mm

LCI to Pre-LCI are still the same chassis.
I do recommend 12/15 for stock height or conservative when lowered, and 15/20 when lowered.
I do have them in stock and for now, I only can recommend and trust H&R brand since they have been making spacers for over 30 years.
I've got many who goes with cheap brands to switch with H&R spacers.

I'm leaning towards the 12/15 setup, however I did get a few opinions of keeping it 10 at the rear as a max.
H&R is the one i'm leaning towards.
Thanks !

LCI is more like the F95 2023 vs 2024.

Any rigidness when driving?
Would appreciate a picture from the back to see how the width looks like whenever you have the time.

12/15 is fine too, just less aggressive.

Not sure why that person said 10 at max for the rear. Do they have good reasoning for that?

I guess it was more of a cosmetic thing - not to look too bulky from the back.

I'm just curious to find out if there are any driving setbacks of having an aggressive setup.

The only driving effect is when you do a full lock U-Turn. Other than that, you won't and don't notice the difference, but better handling due to wider traction.

I bought the 13/15mm Burger Motorsports spacers for my X5 45e and I had them on for a year without any issues. I guess I'll throw them on the new X5MC when it comes in next month.

That's not aggressive, that's trying to look like a Jeep with a lot of poke.
