      What size spacer? 5mm? or would maybe even a 3mm work?

                      Figured this should go here just for reference.

                      I purchased the XXR 521 16'' et20 rims and mounted them to 225/45/16 falken tires.

                      There are no spacers but you will need hubcentric rings and the wells are not rolled to the best of my knowledge. I have about an index fingers space and will be getting that little lip in the rear rolled just for peace of mind.
                      Here it is before (ride height reference)


                      And here it is now. ( shitty cell pic)




                      I think I will be lowering the front a tad and I should be good. I am so happy these fit because my car isnt slammed so rubber bands would have looked so damn goofy.

                        Does anyone know where I can get some BMW center cap stickers for my XXR 521s?
                        Kind of like this guy made.

                          I'd find out the size of the stickers/centers of the xxr logo and search for bmw stickers that size on ebay

                            Do all xxr wheels require wheel studs or tuner lugs?

                              I used my stock bolts with a thin walled 17mm socket. I think its 17mm but it worked fine. Any tire shop should be able to do it no problem.
