Wheel spacers for E39 B10 V8 on 18" wheels

Post by PliSsK » Fri Oct 09, 2020 2:06 pm

Apart from being sacrilege and unsprung weight issues, does anyone have any opinions on what size wheel spacers to use on front and rear of a B10 V8 on 18" wheels? I think on all E39s there is a bigger gap between the wheel arch and the tyre at the front than the rear. I was thinking of something subtle. The rears look ok already and there might be issues with rubbing the wheel arch or fender liner if I install them there unless I roll the wheel arch which I'd rather not do on a car like this. TIA.
