E39 wheel spacers

[Tazar]

Having just had my style 71 split rims (8”wide, 17” diameter) refurbished I’d like to get a better stance to the car. Can anyone recommend make and size of spacer to fit please ?

15mm all round if you're running 235/45/17 tyres

I'd personally recommend a stud conversion too rather than longer bolts

The fella that runs Mteconline shop on eBay will soon have you sorted (spacers/stud conversion/longer bolts etc):

This was my Japanese import E39 530i Sport touring running OEM Style 66s with 235/45/17 tyres all round on 15mm spacers with an 82mm stud conversion:
