e53 sport with OEM 19's & spacers
 
Has anyone got pics of the above?

I have 15mm on the front and can't decide between 15mm rear to keep the space ratio front-back the same, or just go for 25mm to really push the rears out.

My preference is for 15mm right now as its less strain on the wheel bearings, its lighter than an equivalent 25mm (esp. as the 25 will have2 sets of bolts, whereas the 15s can just use longer bolts), it maintains a stock ratio.

Having said that, I feel that 15mm may not be noticeable on the rear as the rears sit further in to begin with. If thats the case then I have no choice but to go for 25mm.

Hence if anyone has pics of 15 or 25 on the rear, then i'd appreciate it.

P.S. I ruled out 20 because 20 is too shallow to have their own bolts to hold it to the hub and so I would have to use longer bolts, but I am not keen on using longer bolts over 15mm. Also, whatever I get it will be hubcentric.

I have just fitted 25mm H&R's all round - will see if I can get some pics on here to show.
I was worried that 25mm would be to much for the front but now Im glad I did as has really improved the looks.
I am running 20" staggered 168's with 315's on the back & 275's on the front - just waiting on a set of wheel arches to finish it all off.
Cheers

25mm up front on 20" 168's? That must be some mad poke you got there? Although with the arches then I guess it'll be just right.

I've noticed that 20's 168's with arches need the same spacing apx as 19's without arches, due to the 20's being wider than 19's you could 'almost'* have them without spacers if you didn't fit arches.

* almost but not quite :lol:
