Need recommendations for wheel spacer sizes. Use 10mm or 12mm on front/rear?

Can't use 10mm. Not enough hub lip left for the wheel to sit on. Go 12mm.

Mike, check out this link on Turner's website.

Turner BMW 10mm Wheel Spacers (Pair) - Most BMWs (see applications) - Turner Motorsport

A note about 10mm spacers: Any 10mm spacer is considered a custom fitment. The stock hubcentric lip on BMWs can stick out by as much as 11mm. A 10mm spacer will bottom-out and leave a gap between the spacer and the hub which seriously compromises safety. The best way around this is using a larger spacer (12mm and larger do not have this issue) or check that the lip sticks out less than 10mm. In some cases you can modify the hub lip to get the 10mm spacer to fully seat on the hub.

well i have 20 inch vertini magics. 20x8.5 et18 and 20x10 et 25, tires are PS a/s 3's 255/35/20 and 285/30/20 i purchased black spacers and black studs from a site on ebay, i went with 15mm in the front and 12mm in the rear. front have no issues and rears rubbed on hitting bumps, i shaved some of the inner fender, and now it rubs rarely but i'll go back under there to see where it's rubbing now. i'm sure it's something minor. but overall i like the look. i'll post pics later.
