    Trouble Deciding on Rear Adapter Sizes

    Just picked up some e38 style 5's! Stoked. But anyway, I need some advice on rear adapters. Can't decide on 18 or 20mm out back and was wondering what you guys are running and how you like them. Rubbing issues, fitment, etc. Wrapping them in 205/45/16 Bridgestone Potenza 760 tires.

    I know there have been countless threads on this but just weighing options on the rear setup pros/cons.

    Go with 18s all around.

    I had 18 & 20 and I am running 205/50 16 and it just rubbed a touch at times with 18s in the rear, I put the 20s up front but would prefer 18s there as well

      Do you have pics of your setup? What suspension to you run? I'm on H&R springs/Bilstein shocks.

          2mm is less than an eighth of an inch. You won't notice the difference. I'd go with the 18's just for the extra clearance.
