Patriks7-

Spacers is a must on these and even the newer gens- especially if lowered any amount.

They definitely make the 20” wide wheels pop and make the stance look how it should from factory... beefy and aggressive.

I recommend DRA only type spacers- i have H&Rs for years- zero issues.

The dra type come with short stubby bolts that bolt the spacer to hub, then you use oem bolts to bolt wheel to spacer. Much safer IMO especially for me i drive the truck hard.

Extended wheel lugs i trust on 5 series, 3 series, etc but not on the X.

At one point i ran stacked 30mm+25mm on top in the rears for a while, had her at triple digits and 10k+ miles no issue. That was 15 bolts per rear side hahah.

Normal setup on 4.8is is 30mm rear, 25 front if you have extended front flares, 20 if not.

I have 25/30 combo at the moment.
