Not sure what the question is...but...of course there's no difference between any of them, provided proper execution.

Currently my X1 has E46 M3 fitment OZ wheels. Which means hubcentric rings up front (as TireRack sells with all of the wheels), along with a 10mm spacer...and the same out back with 15m spacers. Originally, I ran the Tire Rack provided 20mm spacers with integrated bore offset...but it was too much offset. So I sold the hybrid spacers/rings, and just ran rings w/ standard spacers.
Thanks for clearing my concerns up.
I believe as long as i am aware of all the pro's and con's i can put some Spacers on the front if i choose to do so.
