Very nice! Man, I was going to run 12mm/15mm spacers on my 530e M Sport, but your pics have me thinking 15mm/20mm now...
You end up running the 15/20's on your 530e?

Spacer size for achieving flush is dependent on the wheels you are running. 12/20 works for me on 668’s.

Best way to assess what’s right for you is to tape a string on the arch of the body with a weight like a bolt on the other end and let it hang down. Then measure from the tire sidewall to the string.

I have Dinan 12/17 but maybe 12/20 would have been a better choice. To me, 15 on the front seems a bit "much," but caveat emptor!

Yup. I originally went with Dinan 12/17. After a year of feeling like the rears needed a little more, I swapped out the 17’s for 20’s. Always been happy with 12 up front.

I put 10/15 on my 19" 664M and they look OK-ish....

Some things I noticed:

The tire can make a difference as well. I have PS4's on the front and Goodyears on the rear (got sick of replacing the Goodyears everytime I hit a pothole), and the PS4's have a much more rounded profile, meaning they stick out another 2-3mm over the Goodyears.

If you aren't going to lower it, then I highly recommend going to go-flats and adding another 5mm to the aspect ratio (ie. 245/45R19 on the front and 275/240R19 on the rear), as the gap will be more pronounced (look a bit like a 4wd) without it.

I wouldn't go bigger than 10-12mm on the front (especially with the PS4's), but I could easily have gone to 17-18mm on the rear (not sure about 20mm, probably a bit too much with the 664M).

When I was younger I used to drive a GTV6, which was lowered with a fill set of skirts, and it was a PITA to have to drive over speed bumps and driveways at 2km/h, and at a 45° angle, so I never lower my cars again. Looked fantastic though .
