What do you guys think of 373 wheels with 12.5 spacers in the front? I ordered 15 for the rear but now not sure if 10 is better choice than 12.5 for the front.

Go with the 12.5mm, 10mm are just too thin to be safe with the hubcentric lip on it. On my 10mm front spacer, the hubcentric lip broke off, so I changed to 12mm.

Thanks for the info.

I'm going to install H&R oe sport springs shortly, very mild drop of 1" all around and need some suggestions for spacer sizing to have it sit flush or nearly flush (definitely no poke). Seems like 12.5mm is a good choice for front and I'm debating between 15 or 18mm for the rear. Anyone have any suggestions?

Wheels are standard m sport 18" wheels, 350m

Hi gents. I just left the U.S. with my EAS spacers for my F10 M5. I chose 12mm in front and 18mm at the rear. Will this work or be to aggressive for the rear?

The M5 can only fit 12mm spacers with the stock 20" wheels.

Without being lowered, I installed BMS 10mm front and 15mm rear. I actually took off the front 10mm, because it kinda looked like the fronts stuck out more than the rears.

stock front + 15mm rear is perfect for my tastes (19" M-Sport wheels, staggered). Currently trying to sell the 10mm fronts.

I just did the same exact thing. I put 12.5mm on the front and 15mm rear. The front poked way too much with the spacers so I removed them both the rear looks perfect with 15mm.

Please post pics.

And are you wheels staggered, or the X-Drive variants?

Looks great! The sizes that are mentioned, are these per Wheel, or per Axle.

Asking this because most german sellers sell 20mm spacers which are 2 10mm spacers. So its 10m per wheel. 20mm per axle.

Thanks guys

The numbers in this thread is the thickness of one spacer.
