added spacers front and rear to fill the gap

[tylere7035d]

after getting the fender flares my stock 19's looked super silly with a ton of wheel gap. until i pony up and get some factory 20's i threw on a 50mm spacer in the rear and a 10mm spacer in the front to make it a little more flush. it works for now.

enjoy.

I hate to say it but looks like you could use another 25mm or so in the rear.

Something is wrong... 50 mm rear should have moved you way past flush.
A 25 mm spacer on the rear with factory 20's should be flush with flares
Looks like you may mot be running a staggered set up???

Other than the odd look to the rear wheels your X looks great

Where the heck did you get a 50mm spacer from?????

[tylere7035d]

i'm an idiot, i meant a 25mm spacer out back. i had to get 50mm lug bolts from EAS to make them fit.

i know the rear could use more but i had a hard enough time finding a spacer as big as 25mm. i use to run the spacers on my M3 until i got new wheels. so i just used what i already had.

it will have to work until i get much wider wheels to fill the gap, and even then i think i will run some sort of spacer to make it more flush.

if you get a set of 20x11 wheels on the back with your 25 mm spacers, it'll fill up the gap very nicely.

I agree! I'm running a 20mm in the rear and a 12mm in the front. EAS does all of my work as well.

your tires are tiny

[P1]

Just some constructive critisism: your tires are not wide, yet you are pushing them further to the "outside". Visually, there is little improvement until you get larger wheels with fatter tires. When you have fender flares, you want at least 315s in the back. It might have been a better option to not have fender flares until you were able to have the wheels at the same time.

all in due time. it's the wife's ride so i am not as concerned as if it were the car i drive daily. i had to take the spacers off anyway b/c they caused a vibration at highway speed.

thinking about getting a stud kit and spacers designed for the X5 for better balance. the ones i had on there were from my M3.

I have a 90mm stud kit and spacers as well.
