Congrats!
Looks like you have spacers front and rear.
Which size did you go with?
You have very sharp eyes! 15mm fronts & 20mm rears

@ML5775 easily noticable as the spacers improved the stance a lot

My car is arriving in two weeks and i have been searching for spacers but did not see anyone offering any for G30 yet.

Which brand are those?

Sellers don't normally specify for G30 as only very few know that BMW had changed the PCD from the G30 onwards. All previous models use 5 X 120mm.

Go for ECS Tuning or Blox. Exact hub centric & 6061-T6 high quality CNC Anodised Aluminium.

Make sure they are 5 X 112mm PCD with 66.6mm centre hub. Also, you will need extended bolts of minimum 10.9 SGS grade of M14 X 1.25mm.

15mm fronts & 20mm rears are just perfect as it does not run the fenders when the suspension compresses on bound or rebound, and does not touch fender liners on full turns.
