20mm or 25mm Spacers with Fender Flares
What to do,
I am going to put some FENDER FLARES on. I have 20inch Factory wheels with 315 on the rear. Should I go with 20 or 25mm spacers on the back? Do the 25 stick out of the fender flares? or are they just flush? |

X5 M or Msport flares are wider than the normal X5 sport activity package flares.

I am kind of worried about this also. I have the felling that M FLARES are wider as the rear bumper matches it. I just ordered 15mm front and 25mm rear, worried it was a bit much. Right now, I am totally flush without FENDER FLARES. |

I guess I could go measure if the M are bigger if I wasn't so lazy. My M runs 15/25 and my diesel 12/20 the M looks way more aggressive.

ok guys what's the right answer ? are the fender flares on the x5M the same or wider than the non M x5 ?
my other question would be can I use the M flares (if wider) on a 2012 X5 premium LCI ? this is my first BMW X5 and I want to get it right the first time. thank you guys |

The current look on the square setup looks great with the FF's I put on if I don't say so myself. Still need to finish things up when I put the new wheels on, the final touches will be painting the spacers and rotor hi-hats to give it that more finished look. Harry |

the 215 style wheels are 21 " staggered, 285 front and 325 rear. I'm a little worried that 15 and 25 F/R spacers will be too much. Anybody ever run spacers with this wheel setup?
