Spacers
 
I am thinking about purchasing spacers for my 01 X5 3.0. I have searched the forums and found variety of thickness 10 mm-30 mm used by our members. I would like to have input from members who have spacers in their X. What did you have and what would you suggest. thanks

Im running 30mm H&R spacers in the rear and they are made very well. I have zero vibrations and have been using them for about 10K miles.

I also have 30mm H&R spacers in the rear with absolutely no problems at all.....

I think it really depends on the following as a whole:
- size of rims
- factory / lowered springs
- with/out fender flares

For my case, 15mm front and 25mm rear was the best for my set up

(275/45/20 front, 315/35/20 rear; 1" dropped, fender flare)

Good luck.

u have a 3.0 with what wheels? In my personal opinion I would do 15mm in the rear and nothing up front

5mm front and 25mm rear with stock 19's and NO fender flares. sits perfect.
