X5M spacers for stock 299 wheels

Hey guys - I've been scouring though threads trying to find someone that's running an aggressive spacer setup on the stock 299 wheels. If someone could chime in i would much appreciate it. Looking to go flush to the fender flares. I know i can measure but Id rather get the info from someone who is successfully running an aggressive setup.

Thanks

I believe most go 12/20mm or 15/25mm (FR/RR) I have not seen any other sizes other than those two main sizes on OEM wheels.

15/25 would give really good fitment I have seen someone that runs a 30 on the back, it's really aggressive. depending on if your car is lowered or not, I say the front can go up to a 17 or 18 and will still be fine

I ordered them from ECS as well for $220 expected to arrive today, although I just now had to order longer bolts for the fronts(14x1.25x43mm) for $54 since they weren't included with the 15mm

Makes sense that would price it around the same as mine.

I'm running 15mm ECS (front) & 25mm H&R (rear) on 299 wheels. I'll try to get some pics up later for you. The wheels sit flush with the fenders now if that's the look you are after.

Wow man that looks amazing. Stock ride height? This is exactly the stance I'm looking for. Stock height with a wider stance. Thanks for the pics.

Wow that does look good! I'm thinking that the 30mm on the rears might be too wide now

20/30mm on 214

At first I bought these spacers for different wheels, and I thought they are a bit much....but after awhile I start to like them especially after I dropped it 1.2" with H&R lowering kits.

Mine is stock ride height, but I do have H&R springs in the garage waiting to be installed. Here's a bunch more pics I took for reference:

That does look really good...BUT, even though it gives the truck a more aggressive stance by spreading the wheels out further, does that mean the fender flares are prone to getting even more damage than they typically get at stock width?

I would imagine so. Mine are already shot. I'm having them repainted next week along with the rear bumper. Afterwards, I will be applying 3m in hopes it will mitigate the chipping.
