Spacers help

Guys, i am after buying set of rear spacers for my E90 to go on M3 reps,
wheels are 18" ET 38. What best spacers to go for? 10mm or 20mm, also what to do with wheel nuts? I found few items on ebay - spacers and longer wheel nuts, but without locking wheel nuts. Where or how to get locking wheel nuts?
Can anyone paste link on ebay for right spacers and locking nuts.
Thanks

I would'nt go anymore than 12mm with a spacer, and I think 10mm would be best, this would give you an ET28 on the rear.

I'd avoid Ebay for spacers and get either Eibach or H&R hubcentric spacers.

10mm

12mm

OEM bolts are 25mm long, so you'll need extended bolts that are 35/36mm long if you go 10mm spacers or 37/38mm long if you go 12mm spacers, locking nuts would also need to be the same length.

Just a note of caution.

Eibach wont warrant the 10mm spacers......

12mm is spot on, any wider starts to look silly and is too obvious.

I know someone with a set of Eibach 12mm spacers + longer bolts/locking bolts for sale if interested
