What stopped me altogether from placing the order was the conversation I had with the sales rep. He said that nothing above 20 mm is recommended on our platforms. He said it would cause dramatically increased wear on the bearings. What do you think about that?

I was unaware that anything above 20mm should be mounted on our hubs, I ran 15/25mm on the 50i for a while without any issues
if this is true they should really add this information in a disclaimer for potential buyers

I had the same(15/25mm) setup on my e46 m3 for 7 years without any problems...I sold the m3 to my buddy who still has the spacers on
