Anyone put spacers on their oem non-sport package wheels?

Not surprisingly, I couldn't find anything about this. Most wheel spacer threads I came across were for lowered cars or bigger wheels.

My 328i has the oem 16" wheels (I think 268's) and honestly I really like those rims. Also, I actually like the run flats too; I am sure since they are 16s on non-sport it rides better than most rfts on bigger wheels and I am fine with that. I really like everything about the stance in the front but the back wheels are tucked pretty far in. Its especially noticeable (to me at least) with the 16 inch rims. Anybody out there using wheel spacers on just the back on oem wheels? Any pics would be great.

I actually don't like the tires flush with the rim look necessarily, but I would like to widen the back stance a bit. Just to get the back tires a little more in line with the rear fenders like the front tires are versus the front fenders; which are just under flush but not tucked in.

Thanks!

u can add a 10mm spacer to push it out a bit.
u can do 15mm, but that'll bring u a little closer to the fender.

are you a sedan or coupe?
if ur a sedan u'll have plenty of space than the coupe.

10mm for the E92
15mm for the E90

Sedan, yeah there's a good gap at the top especially. I will measure it for sure, but it looked like I could do 15. I don't want to go too far, I don't need it to look agressive etc., just want to fill it out a bit with the current tires.

Any ill effects from wheel spacers on only the rear? I haven't seen anything necessarily bad in all my forum searches as long as good quality spacers are used.
