I wasn't planning on doing the fronts. But after doing the rears, the front wheels are distinctly set in. Now I am probably going to go 15 or 20mm up front.

The problem with doing anything other than the 25mm or 30mm H&R DRA kit, which bolts onto the hub first and then lets you reuse your black OEM bolts on the outside of that, is that the other thinner spacers only come with silver bolts. For me BMW = Black bolts.

If it were not for that one issue, I'd have gone with 10mm to 15mm spacers on the fronts a long time ago. Right now, I only have the 25mm DRA kit on the backs. Still gots a black bolt car, phew!

Waiting for somebody to make longer black bolts so I can do the fronts too!

I went with a 38mm et wheel to shift my fronts out 10mm. The problem with going with much more then a 10mm offset is the issue of the filth that the tires sling onto the sides of the truck and the increased bump steer.

You could try to have to bolts sandblasted to dull the chrome, then use a self etching primer, then paint with urethane. It should hold for a while. Or send them to be anodized.
