Of course, happy to help! Yeah, I think 12mm could give you that extra space to help avoid some of the rubbing. I have some aftermarket wheels to mount when it get a little warmer, so not super concerned with the rubbing right now.

Congrats on the new car! If you need any carbon accents, let me know! Happy to help!

Hi Adam@NWCarbonHaus - Are you running a square setup on your car with the factory wheels, or are the pics with the factory 21" (Rear) and 20" (Front) setup?

Ya, thinking about 12mm spacer for the front. Yup, starting to get excited about the car and will let you know about the carbon accents.

Appreciate all the information you have provided!

No worries!

Yes, running the factory 20/21 wheel setup but I have Falken All Season tires which in my opinion run a bit meatier than the factory Pirellis. So those tires paired with 15mm all around makes it all sit pretty flush!

Hope that helps!

Before you switched to the Falken All Season tires, did the factory Pirellis (P Zero PZ4) rub in the front? I live in San Diego, so I run summer tires all the time and usually stick with Pirellis or Michelins. This will help guide my decision between the 12mm and 15mm spacers for the front. Thanks!

I actually didn’t run the spacers with the Pirellis. I literally had like 10 miles on those tires before I swapped to the Falkens and spacers. So unfortunately, I can’t answer that question for you!

All good. I'm leaning towards the 15mm spacers all around.

Also, huge thanks to BMW David (David Aviles, BMW of Columbia) and BMW Performance Center in Spartanburg, SC for the hospitality and amazing experience at their BMW delivery event!

If you've never done the BMW Performance Center delivery, I HIGHLY recommend it. What an amazing time!

Without further ado, our G99 M5 Touring
David is the best! I won't work with anyone else! It is too bad he's now further south! I was thinking of that, but have you driven back or shipped it?
My issue driving it back the car will be all chipped when I arrive to NJ! congrats for the car and nice color

Yeah we look forward to working with him again on the next car!

We brought our truck and trailer down and picked it up and trailered it straight to our detailer for PPF and ceramic coating!
