Nice ride, although I am a bit biased.

What brand and size wheel spacers, front & rear, did you go with?

If I was going with 20", I'd go with the forged F10 M5 343M wheels, although I think a smaller tire size than the M5 tire would be needed.

The offsets on the F10 and F01 by width are:

F10 - 19" or 20"
8.5" ET33
9" ET44

F01 - 19" or 20"
8.5" ET25
9.5" ET39
10" ET41

A friend of mine did the research.

Thanks. Do you know if it's 15mm on the Front, and 10mm on the Rear, or vice versa? Also, do you know the brand?

H&R spacers with longer bolts. 15f and 10r not 100% sure.

Where arte you located, maybe my friend can do it for you. I will ask him anyway

Thanks for the update and offer, and I could sure use the help, but I'm a long ways from Florida, as I'm in Houston, TX.

You have been helpful though, and I appreciate it. I'm having difficulty finding people who have installed spacers on F10 OEM wheels. One person I know went 12mm all around and said it was flush, and another went with 5mm up front and 15mm in the rear, and of course his was flush too. If you are in fact 15mm up front and 10mm in the rear as you believe you are, then the range is a wide 5mm - 15mm up front, and a tighter 10mm - 15mm in the rear.

I like the way yours looks in the picture, so if you are able to confirm your setup, I'd greatly appreciate it. Also, are the H&R Extended Lug Bolts black or silver?

That's correct, Thanks Peter. We used H&R springs, and spacers. I can source them out to you.

The car looked great for the little work we did.

let me know if you need any help.

tks.

Can you confirm it was 15mm up front and 10mm in the back?
