Hust a quick one i have a bmw e90 2008 320d es 163bhp and i have 17" msport alloys i was wondering about spacers i was wanting to put 10mm on back and 5mm on front nothing too over the top to start with the question is does having different size spacers on the front and rear cause uneven tired tread wear ?

No it will not.

All it will mean is the track of your car will vary slightly differently front to rear.

It can change the handling characteristics a bit but the size you are talking about will not make that much of a difference.

Not really. And being a BMW you will get 'uneven' wear on the rears anyway because of the slight amount of negative camber they have.

You'll possibly need longer bolts as well with those spacers.
