Did H&R Springs and it looks real slick now. The new question is should I run a 5mm or 8mm spacer in the front?

I'd go 8mm, do they do a hub-centric at that size ?

8mm will take you to the same position as 15mm spacer with the stock wheels which looks good IMO and is no problem when low, you are effectively running 21mm spacers at the rear with your rim edge position. Looks great by the way !

You might get away with a 10mm front spacer....

Oh by the way be really helpful if you could measure the tyre bulge by putting a straight edge across the outside of the tyre across the outside and then meausure how far in the rim edge is. with stock PSS 295's on 10" rims they are 9mm, the fronts are 4mm.

Love to see a few more pictures too, espcially from the front at an angle so you can see how the rears look to the arch

I ordered 10mms but haven't had time to try yet. To your previous point the 8mms are not hubcentric so I didn't want to go that route. A lot of people are running 12mm all around on stock M5 wheels so its worth a shot.

You'll be fine here's the comparison to running 15mm spacers which I am running with zero problems

Looks good! So no spacers were needed in the rear? I'm thinking of doing just rear M6 wheels since they are a 1/2 inch wider so I can run a wider tire for more traction.
