What size spacers? - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

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.

Most people run the opposite 12 in the front and 10 in the rear or 10mm all aorund.

I ran no spacers while waiting for my wheels and OEM looked fine even slammed on KW's. Save your money...

Oh, I almost forgot... Do a search on the subject...

-edit- Hey Calton... Is that you??? Congrats on the M5!!! HaHaHa...

What's up John! Yep, it's me buddy. I sold the 530 and decided it was time to move to the M. Afterall, I practically turned my 530 into one, less the engine of course.
