Talking F32 Spacers

Looking for advice on spacers.

2015 435i F32 running 225/35R20 all around.

It has adaptive M suspension and is not x-drive. How do these factor into my considerations?

From my research 12F/15R seems to be the go-to but I assume that's for 19 wheels?

I've seen setups from 10mm to 20mm, but I don't want any rubbing.

I'm having a hard time finding a supplier in Canada, so I'm looking at Turner Motorsports.

Front:

Rear:
https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-5...-1-pair-black/

Neither of them come with extended bolts so I'm looking at these:

But I'm also confused why it only comes with 4 bolts.

Thanks.

Those are wheels locks, one for each wheel.
Mach Schnell https://europeanautosource.com/macht...ml?vehicle=232
Or you can go with the Turnermotorsport brand, they also have kits with extended bolts included

Also we don't know what wheels you have and their offsets to give advice on spacers.
For reference 442m wheels with 12mm / 20mm gives you a nice flush fit

stock offsets on 442m
Front wheels 8J x 19 ET:36
Rear wheels 8.5J x 19 ET:47

The Turner ones that come with extended bolts are 12.5mm+ and I'm not sure if they'll rub.

I will def consider the Macht Schnell ones just need to find the right size.

I got 624M wheels.

Those wheels are the same width and offset, so 12mm front / 20mm rear would work fine

Here's mine on the stock 442m with 12/20 spacers

Thanks dude I appreciate it.

Does my RWD / adaptive M suspension factor in at all or no?

Also, your wheels are 19 mine are 20 would that make a difference?

No, you'll be fine on stock suspension, it'll look better with a drop though.

I found it was $20-30 more to get studs and nuts and not worry about bolts anymore. Got em through ECS

Also looking for advice on spacers.

F32 435i currently running stock suspension on 442M wheels. 225/40/19 front and 255/35/19 rear.

Will at some point lower but don’t want any rubbing.

Looking for a square set up. Was going to go 12F and 15R but jv004 looking flush with the 20mm rear. I know you got the super sport springs.

Did you have any problems with rubbing?

Spacers aren't "bad" for the car. But they aren't optimal for handling. It's always better to choose a wheel width and wheel offset so that no spacers are needed. The exact tire model width and tread width play a roll too.

IMO The best method to follow is to choose the tire size and model. Then choose the optimal wheel width to go with the measured tread width (found on TireRack). Ideally the tread width should be within 0.5" less than the wheel width.

Then finally the wheel offset to position it correctly in/out of the wheel well.

I’m also looking for advice and I’m running a square set up of 245/35 R19 +35 offset on HR sport springs. I want an aggressive, flush look. Any help?
