With the release of the new G90 and G99 M5, we wanted to reduce the amount of guess work and time researching to see what spacer sizing is recommended, so we went ahead and tested all the options for you with our latest G90 M5 spacer prototypes.

As we've done for each new M car release, but also considering the confusion and early misinformation regarding the new M5's wheel specs, we set out to create a comprehensive resource for new G90/G99 M5 owners looking for spacer and wheel fitment.

G9X M5 Bolt Pattern and Style 951M Wheel Specs

• 5x132mm PCD
• 66.56mm Centerbore
• M14x1.25 2-Piece Floating Lug Bolts
• Front Wheels: 20x10.5 et28
  • Tire Size: 285/40R20
• Rear Wheels: 21x11 et28
  • Tire Size: 295/35R21

No Spacers / OE Suspension:









With BMW introducing a brand-new bolt pattern for the G90 M5, IND immediately contacted our longtime partner Fall-Line to get to work on a bespoke spacer designed specifically for the G9X platform and potential future models. Our collaboration ensures that this spacer is engineered to the highest standards, considering both performance and compatibility.

Additionally, the same renowned characteristics found in the FC spacers—such as precision machined pocketing, hub-centric design, and secure hub-mounting provisions—will carry over into the G9X M5 spacer to maintain the level of excellence you expect.

FC 5x132 Wheel Spacers by Fall-Line (Made in USA) COMING SOON

• Complete kit includes: two competition wheel spacers, ten extended length zinc plated lug bolts, four hub bolts, Copaslip copper anti-seize, and an anti-seize applicator brush
• CNC precision machined from 6061-T6 aerospace aluminum based on 3D CAD data
• Black anodized finish for corrosion and wear resistance
• Only spacer on the market with provisions to secure the spacer to the hub
• Hub-centric design with chamfered edges
• Larger diameter spacer pad matching OE hub and wheel mounting face specs
• Pocketed detailing for minimum weight/rotating mass

IND's Recommended Spacer Sizing

• OE Ride-Height and Alignment - 12mm Front / 12mm Rear | Effective Wheel Offset:
  • Front 20x10.5 et16
  • Rear 21x11 et16
• Lowered Ride-Height - COMING SOON!

Recommended Fitment / OE Suspension: 12mm F / 12mm R









Spacers are similar to aftermarket wheels with regard to opinions; everyone has different preferences and tolerances. At IND, our goal is to achieve a wheel and tire fitment that is flush to the edge of the fender with minimal poke which we feel is best achieved with 12mm spacers front and rear. However, for the G90, it may also be helpful to factor in the type of tires your vehicle came equipped with when trying to achieve a specific look, though the difference is slight.

Vehicles delivered with:

• Hankook tires may appear to have a slightly more rim-edge "poke" due to a more pronounced built-in rim protector, but a much more rounded sidewall with narrower tread.
• Michelins should see a slightly fuller look due to the more squared shoulders and marginally wider tread block.
• Pirelli tires have a similar profile to the Hankooks, but have a slightly smaller section width so may fall somewhere in between.

The IND G90 M5 came with Hankook tires from the factory.

Great info. When do you anticipate the 12MM will be ready for purchase and delivery?

If all goes as planned, we should have spacers ready to distribute & ship next month.

Amazing info. Thank you so much for doing the research and for making the information public.

It looks like the sweet spot in order not to go past flush would be 15 front 12 rear, but I wonder if that difference is enough to confuse the ECU's AWD calculations to throw a code.

If you think it won't then that's what I'll order, otherwise if we need to be symmetrical then I'll do 12 all around.

Thanks again.

Staggered setup should not be an issue at all. The G80 also featured xDrive's and this was not an issue on this M-specific chassis.

We have springs going on the car as we speak to test that idea of 15 F / 12 R. Once lowered, we think this might be the best setup; time will tell.

Amazing post! Thank you IND-Distribution

As I’m looking at the pictures, I keep asking myself why would BMW decide to ruin the visual appeal of the car with such tall front wheel sidewalls. They’re literally taller than on my X5 M60i stock 21” winter wheels…

Hence the question what chances do you see for options to fit 21” wheels upfront? Could the car be run on a square 295/35/21 set of tires?

The overall diameter and circumference of the front (285/40-20) and rear (295/35/21) tires is virtually identical (less than 0.5% difference to keep xDrive happy) so there's no issue running the rear size all around with regard to the drivetrain. However, we haven't yet tested one of the rear wheels on the front to confirm clearance when turning or the inner clearance to the strut with the slightly wider wheel.

Since the wheels are the same offset and only 1/2" wider out back, that means they'll only lessen inner strut clearance and outer fender clearance by 1/4" vs the OE front 20x10.5's. Considering the 12mm front spacer is wider than 1/4", the fender clearance isn't an issue, so we'd just need to check strut clearance and liner clearance when turning.

Will there be a 10mm option? 12 looks a bit much for my taste

Thank you! I’m probably not alone to eagerly await your findings

Not sure how i missed you taking delivery of this vehicle but looks great. I ordered same colour for my G99 but with orange interior. Hope you have started on mods for that. Cant wait to see.
