How do you like the wheel spacers? 15 front and back look good to you? Some run 15 back and 10 front, your thoughts on that? Trying to figure what way to go.

On the Gen 1 and Gen 2 MINIs 15-20mm looks good depending on the wheel and size. I have 20mm on the MINI R112 17" wheels. On Gen 3 MINIs because the way the wheels are to the hub and the fender, most guys are staggering the fitment to get flush.

I liked the 15mm's when I was at stock height, but when I did the 1 inch drop with Swift Springs, I wish I went 18mm in the rear because now it tucks a little and is not as flush. 15mm in the front is still good. I wouldn't go with 10mm on front or back because personally 15mm looks more flush
