I would get under the car with a measuring device and see how much room you actually have on each side of the wheel. Odds are if you're running coilovers, 5mm may be all you have before reaching the edge of the fender and the vent on the right side.

10mm will be close....7mm will be safe. Are top camber pins been removed? Me personally would try a 12mm, but that's just me..lol

BMW spend millions developing a car that works, you think bolting on some £50.00 shit is going to improve it?

We'll not go down this pointless road...but some Porsches come with spacers as standard! :-) Its all for handling, looks, fitment preferences 🙂

Right buy some wheels that do the job, spacers and extra long wheel bolts is a boy racer bodge.

That wasnt an option with my wheels. 19x8.5 et35 and 19×10 et40

Just want the fronts to sit a little more out.

Yes running coilovers too. 5mm might be enough?

Absolutely 100% yes!

Not only that you don’t even have to spend $50 to make it better. You can even do free things to improve it like golf tee mod, charcoal filter delete, clutch valve delete, etc.

Wheel spacers are cheap and work.
