Which spacers for the rears?

Im looking to slightly get a better stance by pushing the wheels out a tad, 5-8mm spacers for the rear. Before anyone says spacers are bad or get wider tires I’d like to see if anyone can help out with the right type of spacer i would need. The help would be greatly appreciated.

On my 2008 E63 I used spacers that I got from ECS. I think they are 10 or 12 mm. I also got longer bolts. I am at stock ride height and the wheels are almost flush. They definitely do not stick out.

i think if i go with 8mm hub centric for the rears with the longer bolts i should be fine. Im lowered but my rear quarters are rolled.

I went with 10mm Front and 12mm Rear H&R hubcentric with 40mm lugs...came out perfect

H&R Spacers:

20556659 (10mm FRONT ONLY)

2455665 (12mm REAR ONLY)

Lugs:

I don't think anyone is against spacers if they are done properly and within reason which you are. Using longer bolts of course with slip on spacers. Using a hubcentric design. If they are over a certain thickness (10-15mm) then you will need bolt on hubcentric spacers at which point only buy reputable very high quality products, your wheel staying on depend on it.

I ran 20mm spacers in the rear on my stock wheels and tires and it looked great, no rubbing.
