This is how the M235i looks with 15F & 10R BMS Spacers

This is a 2015 MY eurospec model... it fits 10mm spacers in the rear... I don't know if it is because of the year or the homologation....

15mm rear sticks out too much... to me this 15F & 10R setup is just perfect...

Sorry for the crappy pics its what I have at the moment.

Spacer fitment in the rear:


And pics:







Thanks...

For some reason I love the thread title.

Hmm. I have a similar setup, but 12mm front and 5mm back. In some of your angles, the 10mm looks like too much, and in others it looks good. Like here, it looks like the wheels stick out too much.



Would probably have to see in person to be sure. For the front, I have 12mm and sometimes I think it could use a little more but others it looks good, so will leave it at 12mm.

This is with 12mm on the front and none on the back.

I thought nothing smaller than 13 would fit the rear... I'm confused....

Can you post a picture of your rear with 5mm on ? specially if you have one without the wheel on.. want to see how it fits the hub

5mm will fit because it still uses the hub of the car to center the wheel, it doesn't have the little hub lip like the 15mm does. Basically looks like this:



I'm surprised that OP says 10mm will fit as H&R's website specifically says that 10mm and 12mm fit on the front only. Maybe Burger's spacers are different.

oh.... but then the whole wheel is supported by a smaller lip area then.... cause you lost say 5mm on the spacer

not sure how safe this is....

The wheel isn't supported by that lip, it's there to center the wheel. The lug bolts/friction is what does all the holding.

The rear tire does not stick at all, that is the camera playing tricks... is perfectly flush... maybe too perfect perhaps 1-2mm less would be better...

Its surprisingly difficult to take pics of the stance of the car but here are a few shots so that you can better judge the rear.

Yeah, probably the camera angle. It's weird how a slight angle change makes it looks so different (and I know some don't even notice, maybe it's an OCD thing )
