Researched that and consensus 10mm upfront and maybe 5-10mm in the back!
Curious to know downside of having them? Assuming they don't stick out enough to cause friction with fenders

I'll start with the downside: none as long as you don't overdo it. There's no rubbing of any kind with my current setup.
You certainly don't need them per se but it makes a very positive difference to the apparent aggression in the stance of the car. Size-wise, I went with 13mm front (as did Vic from these forums) and 10mm rear. Shortly afterwards, I upgraded my tires to Michelin Pilot SuperSports with 295s on the rear. Given the increased width combined with the Michelin wheel-protector rim, I decided to remove the rear spacers completely... for one day. It still looked only OK from the rear, so we put the 10mm back on--ah, happy now. If you're still wearing 285s in the rear, you could go even larger.
I got mine from Burger Tuning: http://www.burgertuning.com/BMW_wheel_spacers.html |
Heard downside can be wider turning radius ?
