looks good to me in rear. The fronts do poke slightly, but if you had an 8.5 inch aftermarket wheel That is about how much they would poke plus or minus a few mm.
id be curious if you can fit smaller than 15mm spacers in the front. Let me know if you can fit 12mm spacers in the front if you get them. I think 10mm was confirmed to not fit on front.

Below is 5mm up front:
Below is no spacer in the front and 8mm spacer in rear:
Below is 18mm in rear:
Some more Information..
Lowering the car will change the amount of clearance you have by about ~10mm due to the natural camber from lowering the car. If you got control arms to adjust to OEM spec, you can neutralize this effect (but it's not necessary and won't be enough to prematurely wear the tires).
8mm spacers will not have much of any OE hub to mount to, so installation should be done with a wheel hanger to ensure no vibration is resulted.
Also, I have tried H&R 10/12mm's spacers and 10/12.5 ECS spacers and none of them mount flush to the vehicle hub and/or the rear mounting surface of the wheel.

Guys what is the general consensus on the strength and quality of the ECS tuning lug bolts? H&R does not make the size I need. I want a 3mm spacer on the front, so 30mm bolt for fronts. And 5mm in the rear, so 33mm bolts for rear.
Read a thread on one of the BMW forums that a guy sheared his rear wheel bolts during a drag race. If that happens to my car, I will kill myself even if the crash does not kill me.

That's something you could physically verify if willing to remove the wheel. Otherwise, I wouldn't believe to run into any problems. Also, you can get quality bolts from so many different places if you don't want to be married to that specifically.

I have 15MM ECS Spacers all around, plus the extended lug bolts. I also have aftermarket 8.5 front and 9.5 rear width rims. I drive my car aggressively on a daily basis. No issues here.

I have the same car, and I'm looking for spacer, so after reading all the posts, I assume C400 is same as C450 for the hub design.
Do you have airmatic suspension ?
I'm wanted to know if an issue happened with the airmatic and the car is lowered, is it a problem if we have a spacers mounted ?
Do you still have part number of H&R spacers and the lug nuts specs ?
Probably I will go with 15mm in the front and 20mm in the rear.
Thanks
