If you throw 30's in your rear, you might want some camber plates to go along with what you just said above. I'm running 10's in the front and 20's in the rear. Turning radius is identical to stock and tire wear is fine. I've run spacers on all my BMW's over the years and never an issue, but then again, I never ran extremely aggressive spacers. The better choice would be to do a custom set of wheels with the appropriate offsets if you want the flushed look to the fenders.
