H&R Spacers

I recently ordered H&R spacers with new lug bolts from ben at RG sport, the stock X5 m-sport stance was like someone who is very muscular but skipped leg day, it just didn't look right.

Front 12mm
Rear 15 mm

Its the perfect fit, perfect stance, anything more is too much.

Driving experience is the same, I mean maybe the steering became a tad heavier, I dont maybe its just me because of the amount of youtube videos I saw talking about how spacers will ruin the driving experience, their negative side and the geometry of the car etc. but then again they are german made, of course they went through R&D and testing so hopefully this feeling of something will happen disappears from my mind.

"Spacers" aren't generally a problem at all, so long as the quality of the spacers and lugs is good.

It's "adapters" that are unsafe. For example, an adapter for a pre-2019 X5 with a 5x120 lug pattern, that adapts to wheels from a 2019+ X5 with a 5x112 lug pattern.

Those.... are dangerous.

Car looks great.

Absolutely not true. Adapters are completely fine if quality materials are used. Been running adapters on my 280Z track car and have had absolutely no issues. And you can be sure that car takes a lot more beating than any luxury SUV would never see in its lifetime.
