'15 435i GC - 20" BMW 361 style wheels - best spacer size(s)?
Hoping for some expertise and advice....
I've got a set of black 20" 361 style wheels incoming for my 435iGC (can't wait!), and want to grab a set of spacers to install as well when they arrive. Obviously I'd like to have the flushest/most aggressive look, but it is a daily driver and both backseats and cargo are regularly loaded, so I don't want to encounter any rubbing issues. Car is stock height on stock sport suspension, although a future conservative drop may happen down the road. So, what do you think in the best spacer combo? 10mmF - 12mmR? 10/15? 12/15? Thank you in advance for any help!

You'll be fine with the 12/15 even if you get lowered.

I am assuming those wheels are the same width and offset as the standard wheels that come on our GCs?
I have 10/12 Burger spacers and lugs (their lugs are really really nice btw). That being said, you need to also consider the sidewall look of your tires. With Pirelli run flats I noticed that the sidewall sticks out past the edge of the wheel. On the other hand, Hankooks have a very vertical sidewall that is flush with the wheel. If I had a tire like Hankooks I would have used 12/15 spacers. |

The wheels/tires are:
Front: 8" x 20", Offset 36 - Pirelli P-zero 225/35 R20 90Y XL Rear: 8.5" x 20", Offset 47 - Pirelli P-zero 255/30 R20 92Y XL From what I've researched and has been suggested so far, I'm leaning towards 12/15mm spacer combo, but after your post I'm interested in your 12/12mm thoughts further...

German Spacer Company told me with OEM wheels you can go till ET19 front and rear, and that was on the 442M 19" wheels, those share the same wheel sizes and offsets like the 20" only 1" smaller. So Max in front will be 17mm and 28mm rear. But this is on OEM M Suspension. A guy here in the Netherlands drives a 418d GC with Breyton wheels : 8.5x20 ET35 and 10x20 ET35, in front he uses a 10mm spacer, so it's 8.5x20 ET25 and 10x20 ET35, this is with H&R Springs. With 4 person in the car no rubbing issues.
