Sounds good! Did you get the 30mm spacers for both front & rear? Will you be using them with your monster wheels? - I thought those filled out the wheel wells pretty well, no?

these are just for the rears. Im probobly overdoing it but what the hell...

The front wheels are perfectly flush but the backs just are no there yet.

with 30mm being like another 8 bucks over the 20mm i went all out.

30mm may be a bit too much with those wheels - you may want to double check your measurement - it'll look very odd if the tires stick out beyond the wheel wells at the top, at least IMO. Just tryin' to help!

Thanks X5Jay...

Im looking at the x5 article showing 22s with spacers and it looks really good,

Not sure how big the spacers are

Let me take some pics of my x5 and let me hear your opinions on what i should do.. I still have 2 hours if i want to get somthing smaller like 20 or 25mm

really hard to get good pictures but im trying.

Let me know what you guys think

I measured it and its very close to being flush/sticking out a little.

Got your PM...

It does indeed look like you have a ways to go there, but even still, the 30's may be a bit much. Having said that, I'm not a spacer expert by any means, but I've been thinking about doing the same thing and have done a bit of research lately. I too was just about set on the 30's for my 19" 132s and then I saw a truck (forget what it was - I think a Lincoln Navigator) on the highway the other day and his wheels were sticking out a mile and it looked terrible. So that made me think that I better not go too big. In the pic you posted above from the articles, that does look good, at least from that angle, but I'll bet even that X5 looks a bit odd in person - those look pretty wide. I'm having trouble getting a good measurement on mine given the roundness of the tire's sidewall and the fact that the back wheels have significant negative camber. I really wish I could try a couple of different sizes but I don't see that happening. Anyhow, I'm thinking that I'll go a bit more conservative because I'd like the track to look a bit wider in the back, but not so much that it's really obvious. I'll probably end up with 20's. Hope this helped, at least a little, & good luck with what you decide on. Looking forward to your pics! I'm thinking of calling Dave Zeckhausen to get his thoughts on this one. I'll bet he's got some great insight to share on this...

After further measurement i think 30mm would have looked crazy, So i going to reorder 20mm spacers.

Thanks guys
