Very interested. Do you have any recommendations for a 2015 320i? I'm thinking 10mm fronts & 15mm rears. Thoughts?

You should be fine. Easiest thing to do though is take something flat like a 2x4 or something and lay it flat against the fender (up and down). Then measure from the top of the tire to where it hits whatever your using that is sitting against the fender. 1 in is equaled to 25.4 mm.

Yours look like they were just painted black though with shiny silver underneath, so unsurprisingly, after just one install, half the paint is already peeling off, and the bolt head itself which is the most visible is already scratched up showing silver spots...

First of all, can you confirm that the spacers aren't made the same way and won't also start peeling?

Had I known that was the case, of course I'd have just ordered silver ones in the first place. Take a look. I took a pic of one next to the OEM one:

What can be done about it?

The bolts and the spacers are anodized coated.

Check your PM.

Spacers maybe, as I recall the black being different. But the bolts? They clearly are different than in the original pic posted, which looks like an OEM black bolt.

After putting them on just once and taking them off for this picture, for all that paint to have peeled off the bolt head seems wrong. I hand torque them using a torque wrench too so no issues there.

I'll check my PM and get back to you.

We are currently waiting on another shipment to come in here shortly. Due to the hub thickness its usually recommended to run a 12mm min. You can run a 10mm, but the spacer even if hubcentric may not fit onto the hub correctly and leave a tiny tiny gap which can cause vibrations when driving.
