Wheel Spacers

Anyone here use wheel spacers on their X5? If so what size? Would like to see some pictures! Especially if anyone has them on a 4.6!

Yes I use on my 4.8, but only with 18" winter wheels. Size 30mm. Did you see the articles on main home page? http://www.xoutpost.com/

My apologies I missed the thread about the rear spacers in the Articles section. Looks like there is no need for front spacers. Anyone else have pics of 20's and spacers? I really like the look how they pust the wheel to the edge of the flared arch!!

I don't have any pics... but I have 15mm Rogue spacers and it looks good. If I did it again, I would probably do 20mm all around, but I heard 15mm is the safe max. The best part though, is how much better the X corners. =)
Oh, by the way, I have front fender flares too, which is why I decided to get the spacers.
