19" 750li wheels on g50 questions

Hey everyone,
Been lurking on n off since the wallet's been kinda thin lately but now am ready for the next step. I've seen folks like damicci run this setup a d was curious about the spacers. I read I one thread that someone was using 16mm adapters but the lowest I can find right now is 20mm adapter for $180 for all 4. eBay has an adapter set for $120 but it's 1.25 inches thick. What are your thoughts. I've got a set of espilir lowering springs and want a decent camber but not overly aggressive. A point in the right direction would be great. Thanks for any help folks.

When I did this on my g50. I bought 25mm spacer and had them machined down to 16mm. The machine shop I took them to said 16mm is the safest thickness you can mil them down to. I don't think those springs are gonna be enough of a drop to flush your wheels. You might have some poke.

you're doing it wrong.

suspension before wheels. if for some reason you have the wheels beforehand, wait until you get your suspension dialed in.

thanks! I just sold the springs to a friend and am going to run a z32 setup in the meantime until I can pick up a nice set of coilovers. Probably going to start the install mid jan. thanks again.
