Ordered the spacers yesterday, decided to go with 15/20mm set up. Once both the car and spacers arrive - will post pictures on here!

Any chance you can post up some photos from afar? Would be nice to get an idea of the overall stance of the car with the spacers on. |

Just ordered 15/20 Bonoss for mine, expected in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to get them on as the factory stance leaves something to be desired.
Pics as soon as I get them on.

I received mine earlier this week and got installed this morning. The weather's a little sketchy here in Dallas today so I didn't take any videos and will try to capture some better photos when the sun comes back (and it gets a wash).
For reference: 15mm/20mm Bonoss Spacers. I'm good with it, but wouldn't mind 2-3 mm more in the rear and maybe 2-3 mm less in the front if I were to do it over again. The rear doesn't quite fill out the wheel well while the front pokes just a bit wider than the front wheel well. My biggest concern is the front wheels throwing crud across the side of the vehicle, but time will tell. I always put some anti-seize on after it took a minor battle to get some removed years ago. Other than that, torque to spec (101 ft-lbs). Will check the torque again in a week or so. Here are a couple of before/after photos:

Will see in 3 years what it's worth and whether I want to keep it. BTW: I put the caps back on after taking the pics. I actually love this wheel design as well.

To me the vehicle sat like a Toyota Venza in stock form as the body just looked a little too wide for the track width. Now (to my eye) I see a stance that fits the body. But you're correct, it's not necessarily showing up in the pictures.

Storms in Dallas today...it's not getting out. I'll be getting out more this weekend.
But my history with spacers (X5M, 911 2S, M3, Wrangler, etc) I've never felt any difference other than have to be that much more careful when pulling in next to a curb.

Dude, I’m so anal when it comes to anti-curb rash! I am so careful around corners! I’m proud that I owned my M550 for 4 complete years without any self-inflicted road rash. Bent rims due to 20” low-profile rims and run-flat tires in the streets of Houston? Now that’s a different story!

Even with the 23 inch rims and conventional tires on the XM, I haven’t had any problems although you do feel absolutely everything - which is actually what I prefer. |

I’ve installed 15mm front, 20mm rear on stock 23’s. Does anyone else feel as though dirt/mid/debris etc getting thrown on the side of vehicle ? May consider swapping out fronts.

But I can’t stand the looks with thinner spacer.
