So I have an E92 328i on stock suspension and stock 17" unstaggered wheels.


(sorry, no pictures right now [3:30am] of the wheels/fender gaps)

What I hate are that the wheels are far from flush with the fenders, so I need some/a lot of advice! I'm a newb.

Would spacers be the ideal solution aside from new wheels to give me a better look?

Would they compromise performance or safety (I assume they will actually improve performance due to the wider track width)?

Is there any reason I should NOT add spacers? I will never be using snow chains or anything.

Is there anything in particular that I should look for or avoid when purchasing spacers?

I am currently reading random online content about this, but I wouldn't feel comfortable in purchasing until some of you guys (people I trust) chime in.

Thanks much guys!

Okay well after some reading, I did find that diagram that everyone posts.

I also found a video that tells me I should add weight to compress the suspension before I measure anything. Should I fill the car up with people and maybe another person sitting on the trunk to compensate for things like hard bumps in the road?

Also, does anyone know if I will need to also buy longer bolts than what I already have?
