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 |

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'm running with H&R spacer (12mm front) and (20mm rear) on OEM 20" rims.

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

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.

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.
