Spacers on my BMW

[royawood]

I currently have a 2003 BMW E53 X5 3.0l with style 69 wheels and one inch spacers all around.

In the front, I am perfectly flush with the stock fenders. In the rear, I am still aprrox. 1" to 1.5" from being flush. I know this is due to the stock camber in the rear, as well as the wider body.

I am planning on installing a fender flare kit similar to that of the 4.4l with flares in the front and the rear. This will increase the distance for the wheel to be flush with the fender by approx. 0.5".

After reading many forums about how you're not suppose to stack spacers and long hours of searching the web for thick a$$ spacers with the necessary dimensions, I have become extremely irritated and am now looking for help from someone who actually knows what they are doing.

Along with the spacers, I purchased longer bolts which I recall being 63mm. I took the original length of the bolt, 38mm, and added the 25mm of spacer. I have had no problems.

I need to know if getting the spacers is worth it or if I should just buy new wheels with a greater offset and just space the rear. I am tight on cash, so whichever option proves to be cheaper.

Any help is appreciated, Cheers from Georgia, USA.
