Until my 20's are ready (hopefully next month), I'm going to be riding on my 166's.

What's the best spacer combination for the the E60 M5 for front and rear?

Can I do 12mm in the rear, or is that too much? Here's what I was thinking...

F - 10mm

R - 12mm

Would that work? I'd like to make the wheels as flush as possible, without extending outside the well and of course, not causing any rubbing.
