Might be silly to ask but I'd like to hear a honest answer on what part(s) they think might fail due to the spacers on this car. Thanks for the pics, and hope there's some info to sway my decision to purchase or not purchase a set.
Here you go

Not sure the size. It's Mina Gallery exhaust. You can visit there website. They have a lot of interior, exterior, and performance options for our car.

Finally installed my 20mm spacers in the front. It looks so much better than the 15mm I had. So now I have 25mm rear and 20mm in the front.

I don't see how spacers would void your warranty?? If you get a decent size spacer just make sure it's a bolt on spacer that's all...

I think that looks good CHxfs...

I run 25mm all the way around on mine and I'm lowered on Mina springs. I don't think it looks "ricer" at all... It's not like they're sticking out with super stretched tires, it's a good fitment. I thought about doing staggered spacers but just went with same all the way around..

I do have a set of 18mm sitting in the garage that are our bolt pattern if anyone wants them. I'll take the first reasonable offer!

I've run after market wheels on all my vehicles but never used spacers so I need a lil help here. I have staggered 22s (22x9, 22x10.5)on my XF but just order a set of 22x9 for the lil lady's and the guy stated the rear has a +35mm offset. I'm curious to know if that is going to be enough for them to sit flush on the rear and if not what size spacers I need to run to achieve a flush look?

I should have asked what stock wheels you have. But based on the car I'm guessing you have 18x8.5 with a 49 offset all around. So if that is the case, the new wheels will extend 20mm more on all corners. That will be good for the front but the rear would not be flush. You would need at least a 10mm spacer at the rear.

This is all based on me guessing which wheels are on the car now. But to give you an idea, with my after market wheels, I'm 15mm more on the front which I'm gonna put a 5mm spacer to achieve 20mm. My rear are fine, they extend out 30mm more than stock.

Surprisingly the wheels were delivered today so we went and bought tires and had bolted on. I actually think it looks good as is, not sure if I'll add spacers or not.

I think they look fine. I wouldn't push those out any more. If anything I'd move them in a tiny bit but that camera angle makes them look like they are out more then they are.
