15mm rear spacers and 12mm front?

I have a 2010 328 e90 with stock BMW 16" rims and tires.

I saw http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=431089&highlight=spacers and want to buy 2 pairs of these spacers to make the rims look better.

Should I go 15mm back and 12mm front? I have stock suspension and stock everything. Maybe upgrade in 6 months to 18" rims.

I really don't know that much to spacers other than what they do please help.

I don't think spacers will help your look much. Everyone on this forum hates the 16" rims in terms of looks, and you would probably be better off fitting spacers (if you feel it's still needed) after you move up to 18s. Generally spacers are the last thing you do in terms of your car's stance:

IMO, in this order: Wheels -> Lowering -> Spacers
