Question Help choosing wheel spacers for X1 (F48)

Hi guys, how are you?

I recently purchased lowered springs from Eibach and I'm looking to add some wheel spacers to complement the look of my 2017 X1 M-Sport sDrive, with stock 18" wheels (7.5Jx18 ET51, 225/50 tyres).

Searching the forum, I found this post: https://f48.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...1410686&page=3

I saw that some of you guys are running 13mm or 15mm spacers (square setup to avoid understeer), but from my measurements it doesn't look right.

I measured 19mm from the outside of fender to the tyre; then I measured 14mm for the fender lip. Considering those numbers, I don't have much room to fit a spacer (please see attachments). What am I doing wrong?

Anyway, I'm asking for your experience guys. Any trouble with 13mm or 15mm spacers? Any rubbing with the fenders? Any problem when the X1 is loaded or when the suspension is compressed, e.g. with a road bump?

Thanks in advance!
