Need wheel spacer opinions?

shan_y33zy · 05-19-2016, 04:40 PM

Hello,

I have a 2012 535i with the 19" 351m wheels. I'm lowering the car soon and was looking into getting some spacers. Is there anyone that has pictures that will share how their rides look? I was doing my research and see lot of people running 15mm in the rear. Is 18 too aggressive, will it rub? Thanks in advance and looking forward to your thoughts.

I've got those wheels as winters and use 12mm front and 18mm rear with 245/40/19 all around, but you'll be fine with 275/35/19 rear tires too. I've seen a couple of f10's with OEM 20" (same offset as 19") with 20mm in the rear.

I have a lowered 535i with the same rims staggered. 12mm front and 15mm in rear. Wish I had bought 18mm for rear. There is enough room for sure!

Yep, will be perfect once lowered. For stock height I would recommend 10F/15R
