Spacer size, aesthetically speaking 25mm or 20mm in rear?


I have a 2011 e70 35I with the sport package.

I am lowering the car with the 1.2" H&R springs. Which if my research is right should lower it about 1.5".

I am going back and forth between 15mm in the front and 25mm in the back or 12mm in the front and 20mm in the back spacers.
Any opinions? If anybody has picture directly from front and back with either of those combinations please post.

Thanks

People can give opinions but to get it right you will need to measure what size spacer you will need to fit what look you are going for. Now if you state what wheel, OEM, aftermarket, offest tire etc and what your doing to the suspension, well that will ball-park you, but to get it right for what you want, measure. No reason to go off a recmondation, order parts, and not have it like you want, why chance it..

214's/ stock tire sizes with wide flares are a lot but not flush.
I added 25mm HR DRA's per side in the rear. Perfect!!!
Waiting for the 15 in the front. They are sold out all over the place.
Mine is not lowered yet though.

Thanks. I saw that they have them but turner charges almost twice as much as the competition for the spacers.
