Yeah I have no idea why they would think you need a 12mm spacer, when mounting the wheel on it should be obvious it will fit when the car is up in the air.

My guess is they are just unfamiliar with the offsets? Maybe they just don't know how to add? I think our stock offset is something like in the 50s? et58 maybe? Could they have added it wrong thinking its positive offset and adding a 12mm spacer would bring it closer to OEM?

edit: just to clarify on top of that, our cars have negative offset. So that et45 is -45. By adding a 12mm spacer, it changes the offset to et33. Which is WAY out of what it should be in the rear. At et45 we are pushing poke, for 9-9.5 inch rear wheel the 51-48 range is a bit better, but 45 still fits rather nicely, albeit with a couple of mm of poke.

At et33 with 9.5 inch wheels, you are going to look like a cholo truck rolling around.
There's no difference between xdrive and rear wheel drive here thought right? My car is xdrive

i had AG M359 wheels in 18x9.5 et45 in the rear and it poked way too much. even without spacers it looked stupid, i cant image how bad it would look with spacers.
Do you know if the spacers would negatively affect handling or anything else the way I have them right now?
