I wouldn't. I have spacers that came to me with my car and spacers in general are sort of known to be a potential source of trouble. Long bolts are a long lever arm acting on the hub (you can't get away from that unless your spacers have an interference fit to the bolts) one of which I've had to replace already. Trouble is, I don't want to give up these pretty wheels that came with this car, so I guess I'm stuck with 'em.

I like H&R's spacers. 15mm is nothing. But you will need longer lugs or convert to longer studs. I have 12mm spacers on my BMW wagon with the 500hp/ft lbs of torque and beat the hell out of it around turns. No problems whatsoever. I would never personally run anything thicker than 20mm.

I just need to find out where can I get some good 15mm.

Didn't mean to rain on parade, if ya gotta run em run em.. I would trust h& R to machine them properly. As to where to find em i got nuthin, 'cept that iirc racer wholesale had them.

This issue is with the front hubs on our E55's. I found H&R makes spacers specific for the front of our cars. Check the H&R website.
