Spacer Question !!

I have an alternative wheel set up with Contis DWS06 for dry winter driving for my F82. The wheel specs are as under:

Front: Enkei Raijin 19 x 8.5 ; ET 38mm (offset)
Rear: Enkei Raijin 19 x 9.5 ; ET 35 mm (offset)

Now, the front wheel is actually retracted by 15mm as compared to the stock 666m front wheel (ET 29 mm) and the retraction is pretty obvious and I want to get a more flushed look for the front. I am happy with how the rear wheels look without spacers (in fact they look more flushed as compared to stock 666m).

I was thinking to go for 12-15 mm spacers for the front but will it be ok to just get the spacers on front and skip the rear. Is it a must to have spacers for all 4 wheels? Any other suggestions regarding spacers for this wheel set up.

I never had spacers before so not sure about this !! The car is at stock height.


Thanks

The most sensible configuration given those wheels is to throw 15mm spacers in front and leave the rears alone. This will get you as close to OEM as possible. Spacers only in front will be just fine.
