Will 20mm spacers on stock rears stock f32 m sport 428i 442m wheels fit and not rub?

Hi guys I've finally joined up here, where I've supposed to a long time ago.

So, I have a sapphire metallic black f32 m sport 428i. Stock everything besides taking the front m sport lip and disconnecting the rear exhaust valve.

Stock 442m 19' wheels with conti sport 5 contitact or q.e. it is run flats and its 255/35/19 rear and 225 fr 35 also.

I've seen some pictures but I want to know if it'll fit and won't rub.

Here's the link where I bought it.

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/13329747...mis&media=COPY

Same hub size and bolts for my car.

How would you guys install it, do you guys put anti grease behind it or around the hub ring? I've seen my mechanic did that on my previous e92.

Any advice, experiences and pics would be much appreciated!

Thanks guys. I'll edit my profile when I have time and know how to do it lol

Idk how to upload photos here so yeah but will if I find out how.

Hey Jason,

I have an F30 with 704M wheels on H&R Sport springs (lowered about 1.5") AND installed 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers and it works fantastic. Never had any rubbing or issues even with 5 people in the car. Very happy with the aesthetics and handling. The spacers came with some anti-seize that I put on the inside of the spacers before I installed them on the hubs. here are some pics after installing them:

Here is what the rear spacing looked like before the spacer, IMO it was a MUCH needed improvement:

Wow your car is nice! oem+ style! Can't believe you're all good with 20mm on thw f30 sedan! Thanks for the pics it gave me really good reference and I don't need to stress.

Also do the f32 4 series have a bigger wheel space/arch compared to f30s?
