I run 10mm rear spacers on the X5 and might try 15's with the winter setut, but I won't add front spacers. I tried spacers on my 528 and while it looked better, the front end just never felt right so I went back to no spacers at all.

Are you sure about the extra width being split in two? My old 17" wheels were really narrow and they didn't stick way in. On the outside, they look just like the 18's do now. However, what you are saying makes perfect sense. It would be smart to spllit the diff so that the steering remained "factory".
So what you are saying is that I should just get the new wheels and do nothing with the fronts because they'll stick out just a little further, and that for the rear I should switch to buying 25mm spacers instead of 30mm.. eh??
