Help w/ wheel spacers

I am looking into getting wheel spacers for my 2011 335i M sport with 18 inch MV3 wheels and I dont know how it would look on the car. Does anyone have pictures of their spacers that would help me?

I've been noticing a lot of problematic spacer threads, it seems they're not a good idea just to achieve 'dat stance bruh'.

ermagerd, one user had a problem with their lug nuts and happened to have spacers

correlation = causation, spacers r dangerous

Also, airplanes are dangerous because I saw a news story about one crashing recently. But driving cars isn't.


OP, 12.5mm front and 15mm rears work well with 18" wheels.

Well, Airplanes with suicidal co-pilots can be pretty dangerous..

Yeah I've been running spacers on my cars for a long time...no problems. I've worked on several road race cars with spacers. Fwiw factory Porsche 930's had spacers. Feel free to draw your own conclusion but I can attest they are safe if installed properly.
