12.5 mm x4 spacers on a 128i with stock setup...too much?

Just ordered 12.5 mm spacers front and rear for my 128i with stock wheels and suspension from Turner...I concerned the wheels/tires might stick out too far and look kinda hood for lack of better term. Anybody have any picks of this size on a 128i or any thoughts on if this size will be ok. Thanks!

you should give it 24 hours before a bumb but you should contact motorsport hardware. I met the guy before and hook it up on my car with stud conversion kit and spacers.

If it is too much he would know.

I have 12mm front and 15mm rear on stock 128i M-Sport (17-7/7.5) rims and 215/225 Michelin PSS.

No issues.

cool! i went 12.5 all the way around...do you think the back ones will look ok at 12.5 too? did you go 15 back because of wider wheel arches in back or do you think 12.5 will fill them out ok too?

picts?

I doubt 2.5 mm (.098 in) will be very noticeable.
Only photo I have that shows the rear:

I ran 15mm spacers all around on my 128, with 135i rims(264 style) and the rears were perfectly flush, and the fronts were equally flush, all on bone stock Msport suspension.

OP - I'd recommend measuring your gap, and buying spacers that will fill that gap. It's the most accurate method for your specific needs.
