Hi guys, I need some help, first time buying spacers and not quite sure what should I get.

My car is a 435i Xdrive Msport Grand Coupe and i just recently "lowered" a bit with H&R sport springs, I was looking online and I'm a bit confused, some websites say that I have to get special spacers for Xdrives cars. Also not sure if I need to buy the bolts too.

I was thinking 5mm front and 10mm rear.

thanks for the help!

There is nothing different or special about xDrive cars compared to rear-wheel drive when it comes to running spacers. The only reason people run spacers is to augment the looks of their car, or if you have wheels with an offset that rubs suspension components.

To determine the max spacer size you can use, hold a level against your fender straight up and down and measure the gap to your wheel.

I have a 435i xDrive with stock 18" rims (ET38) lowered on the Eibach pro-kit and am running 15mm in the front and 20mm in the back, front is perfectly flush and the back pokes a couple mm. I think in general many people run 10mm front and 15mm rear, or maybe 15mm and 18mm.

Yes I used longer bolts that were paired with the spacers, this is a must. They should come with the spacers.
