I was looking to add spacers to the sport pkg 212's to get that staggered look and to add the fender flares. Would changing the rear tire size throw off the spedo or affect the xdrive ? If anyone has a similar set up I would appreciate some pics.

Pootz... I haven't gotten the flares yet, so this is what the 315s look like without them:

Very nice wheels . . . Once u get the flares it should look amazing!

How much did the wheels run u ?

believe it or not, I was out of town, and sent my wife to go check it out before the Eco Credit for '09 was supposed to expire.

She's a Duke grad in Sales, so she's my negotiator anyway... lol

anyway, she knew the first thing I planned on doing was going after market on the wheels. She called me from the dealer and said "some guy didn't want the M wheels and just left them here, so they're offering them to us for half, is that OK with you?"

ummm ... yeah...

so, I'm guessing about 3K for the wheels, but I didn't ask.

I'm a cheapskate, so I let my wife handle all the money so I can enjoy the finer things without the stroke of seeing the price tags...:p:

Kodok,

Checkout member Poleposition's winter setup. He has 212's powdercoated black with the flares. Link to his post below.

Where can I source the 30mm spacers??

I have a set of brand new 30mm spacers for the x5. Pm me if interested. Cut you a good deal.

a few of us have gotten them from Turner Motorsport | BMW Performance Parts, OEM BMW Parts & BMW Accessories ... you'll have to call them for the order though so you get the right parts.
