Hi all,

I'm wondering what size spacers folks are using on their 719M wheels to get a flush fitment.

Before I put my winter wheels on, I had measured 12mm f / 10mm r if I recall correctly, but I see that many where running spacers in the 12-15mm range on the M235i stock wheels.

For reference, these are the wheels in question:

I would like to know this as well. I think the sizes you have listed would work and make a nice improvement over stock, but I do wonder if you could fit even wider spacers.

Glad I'm not the only one wondering this... I've only started to second guess my original measurements because my winter wheels (BBS SR's) are 10mm further out than stock and still look to need another 3-5mm in the back and 5-8mm in the front to be flush.

I just put 15 mm spacers all around. I have some pics at home that I can post later.

I have 15 mm spacers for front and rear waiting for when my car arrives....hoping I'm ok with that.

Thanks. I look forward to seeing the photos. Do they poke at all?

These wheels have the same specs as the prior M235 M436 wheel. I run 12mm BMS spacers on my M436 rims for my winter setup and it's perfect with the stock suspension. It's pretty close to flush, but still just within the fenders. I had reluctance about using spacers and researched the hell out of it.

You do have to remove the plastic axle bolt/hub dust caps to fit the spacer on the rear hubs. The caps easily pop off. I lightly coated the area with a waterproof grease prior to my winter setup install because I had worries the area may rust due to winter roads conditions, salt, etc. I did not notice any rust in the area when I reinstalled my summer setup last weekend.

My BMS spacers fit perfectly and did not cause any vibrations with speeds up to 110mph. I did not notice any handling and steering negatives/positives with the increased track. With the wheels pushed out a bit, it helps make the wheel gaps appear visually smaller.

Here are shots from all four corners. Again, 15 mm all around.

Thanks Zero, I really appreciate you posting these. Any overall shots that show the stance? It looks like there might be just the slightest bit of poke on the rear wheels, or is that just the result of the slight angle on the photos?

Thanks again for your help!

NP. The front wheels were slightly cocked, so that could be making them appear a little poked. From my vantage point, only the lip/rim seem to stick out beyond the edge of the fenders. Here are some more shots, from a little further back.

Thx for posting the pics...that's exactly what I envisioned w the 15 mm spacers. Easy to do yourself?

Simple. Only thing you want to make sure you do the first time, is use a wire wheel brush on a drill to make sure the hubs and inside surface of the wheel are clean of debris, as you want everything to lie perfectly flat.
