12mm spacers all around?

Anyone have pics of 12mm spacers all around with the stock 19" wheels?

I'd like to not stagger the spades and am thinking 12mm square would be a good look without being too aggressive on OEM suspension. I do not like wheel poke.

I purchased 12mm MS spacers for exactly the reasons you specified. They'll look great and you're correct on all front... a search on photos of F8X's with 12mm spacers all the way around should net you many results..

My brother, who has the same springs I do, uses 12mm all around. His car, however, is black. The outer color of the cars hides the shadows in the wheel well better. My car is SIlverstone. I have a 15/12 setup and it's great. Handles like a dream too. Just make sure you get it aligned properly.

I have 12mm for F/R on my F80. I'm waiting until after winter to put them on though.

I've always thought spacers do not require an aligment, since the suspension really hasn't changed.....
