Spacers for E63

Hi guys,
I have my 07 E63 lowered by STAR to around 25.5" all around. I wanted to make the stock wheels look a little more flush. In researching I noticed that H&R made 5mm, 10mm, 12mm,.. What is the best spacer to bring the wheels out a little bit more front & rear. I've searched but can't seem to find an answer.

around 10-15mm front and rear would look pretty nice.

EEKKKKK!!!


10mm maybe. 15mm would be hellaflush

In looking at your car, I would say:

8 - 10 Front (You have a little more wiggle room there)

5-10 Rear (As much as you can go before you rub)

I put new rims, 18/8.5 front and 18/9.5 rear and the fronts are not flush, I went to a tire place and told me even if I put a 5mm it would rub because I'm lowered so I guess I'm out of luck

Becareful with the front offset. Your driver side fender will cut into the tire when you make a left turn into a drive way or parking lot. I end up replacing the fender cause it all bang up.

My front wheel is 20x8.5 35mm with 10mm spacer, 25.5" front fender lip to ground.

So when you banged up your fenders you were running this setup or a more aggressive? If I got this right your are at ET25 in the front with those spacers?

I ask because I am now in the market for wheels and don't want to tear up my fenders. I did this whole research on my W204, was told it was safe to do such and such and go with such and such tires so it had rounder shoulders etc. I'm at 25.5 also on my W204, with a -.080 camber, ripped my finder slightly towards the front where the bumper and fender meet.

So I just want to double check where people are. I'm going for the same flush look, but I'll sacrifice the look to save my fenders.

I dented my fender also for being too low but it still looks good
