Spacers for stock 351M Wheels
What's the absolute best setup to run on a stock height 535i? I'd like to give the tires a beefier appearance for now till I figure out what rims I'd like to go with. It's looking like 18mm rears and don't touch the fronts?

I Installed 18mm rears and 12mm fronts last weekend.
Stock height 528i Xdrive. 351 wheels. Rears are perfect at 18mm. Fronts will probably be best with 10s IMO. . Or maybe even an 8. 12 is slightly too aggressive. Still ok and some might actually like it. But for me it's slightly too much. I kept it on though as it loos better than no spacer. I'll add some pictures tomorrkw when I get on my computer. |

Spacers are such an easy and great mod to achieve a better stance. I went with BMS spacers for my 535i. Even though still mostly stock, I love the more aggressive stance that the spacers provide.
Best setup, IMHO, is 18mm in the rear and 10mm in the front on a 535i. I'm not sure if a 528/535xi requires a different setup vs a non-xi. I went with 15mm rears and 10mm fronts. However, while the rear sits well with 15mm, I think 18mm rears would be a perfect setup, as I don't mind the rear sitting with the slightest bit more of an aggressive stance. The front sits perfect with 10mm; 12mm would be a bit too much. Make sure you also get extended lug bolts to go along with your spacers! |

I also use 18mm in the rear with the 351M wheels, but that's with a drop.

Can anyone post up a picture of their setup?
I have 12mm rear spacers but was planning on getting rid and putting 10mm on the front and 15mm on the rear. May go for 18mm rear if it looks good though. My car is lowered too... not much though, I'm just on eibachs. |

Not that I can remember. I installed the spacers pretty early to me having the car so I didn't notice a difference. From what I heard a wider stance is better for handling.

I'm wondering if my 356's carry the same offset? Thinking of changing up my wheels and slapping on some BMS spacers as well. Something new for 2017!

The best way to figure out for sure the best spacer size is so measure the tire wall side to the fender. |

I guess I'm more conservative... I went 12 mm in the rear NO fronts. This has the wheels perfectly flush with the fender to me.
