OEM 20" Wheels - Spacers - No Extended Flares - What are you running

What spacers are ya'll running with your OEM wheel/offset on your X5 with No Extended Wheel Arches, etc.

I'm leaning on 5mm but seems like 10mm is more popular...

Got a couple of phone calls to make but I'm leaning on a 5mm WITH a hub bore extender

I have the 87s staggered with oem tyre set up.
I find that the front is fine and the rear 315/35/20 is flush with the bodywork.
I am think of fitting the 4.8is ext arch flares on the rear.Then I will be fitting 20mm spacers...

Actually if I recall, the rears are pretty flush and the front does have some room to play...

I personally don't like the flares nor have ever needed to even explore spacers on this car until now.

I like the 10mm spacers just simply for the fact that it's hubcentric.A wheel hanger and bolts properly torqued should be fine. More brand selection - design as well......I like the designs where it's notched somewhere so you can at least have a pry off point if needed..

However, at the end of the day, I prefer 5mm as I'm not looking to go past the fender (san arches) and all I need literally is a hair for it to clear the BBK.
