wheels spacers for X6

I got an X6M and running OEM wheel for summer and OEM style 298 19 inch for winter. I wanted to put wheel spacers on to slightly widen the stance. ANy one with experience or has put this on please respond. I was thinking 10 or 12 mm upfront and 15 mm in the back. WHat manufacturer did you use and what is the maximum spacer without running into negative camber or alignment issues? Any help appreciated.

In general, I always recommend using this technique to measure the distance between the tire and fender. This is the best way to measure how thick of a spacer you’ll need because each car setup varies due to different tire/rim setups and/or specific year/model of vehicle.

I recommend going with H&R TRAK+ spacers as they are a tried and true product. They’re made in Germany under ISO 9001 Quality Assurance standards, and meet the rigid safety criteria of the German TÜV.

As always, do a search for more information and other members’ suggestions.

Feel free to shoot me a PM/email, or call if you had any other questions or concerns.

I will be installing my H&R Wheel Spacer this coming Wednesday but it is not a X6M. I bought 12mm for the front and 15mm for the rear. Originally it is anodize silver but I send for it for black anodizing because I am using the 215 double spoke in black just to match it. I will post some picture after the installation. This is a picture of my car without the wheel spacer.
