Question about spacer and drop

Hi everyone,

First Question:
I'm looking to put spacer on my E70 X5, and how many mm should I put in the front et rear?

I found this picture and I would like the same, but don't know what is his setup. How many mm do you think this X5 have in front and rear?



Second question:
Do you think if it look agressive with spacer only? or spacer + drop? I'm confuse lol

Your opinion please Thanks!

I will say 15mm F and 25mm R. That's the best guess, I did that on mine when I had the 214 style wheels. If you want more aggressive go with 20 and 30

15mm F and 25mm R, heum I think the commun R is 20mm? Do you still have old picture of your setup with your 15mm F and 25mm R?

Yes I have FenderFlares. So you think the best setup too is 15mm F and 25mm R?

Do you know if spacer will change the car's driving?..

Alright!

and what about the drop?

The look is more agressif with spacer + drop? or only spacer?

I love the look with spacer, but I don't know if it looks better with a lil drop..
