'06 E90 330i with Style 162 staggered rims. Sport Package Suspension and stock RFT tires. What are people running for wheel spacers? Pics are very helpful!

Thanks,

I think 15mm in the rear looks good.

hankcah · 06-15-2011, 02:05 PM

17.5mm in the rear

18mm should be fine

I run 12mm in the front and 15mm in the rear, I'll post a pic later

How much are wheel spacers? And does it make the tires look wider?

they're anywhere from $60 - $120.

They don't make the tires look wider, they push the whole wheel outward. So the wheels are further apart.
Cosmetic wise: better stance, look flush with the fenders.
Performance wise: wider track, better handling/cornering so-to-speak.
