My Ride: 2006 E60 M5 (Sepang Bronze/Natural Brown) Eisenmann Exhaust with Miesterchaft Sections 1 & 2 Evosport Headers Evosport Pulley RPi Scoops & Block Off Plates with BMC Filters Eibach Pro-Kit Springs 20" Breyton Race CS in Polished Silver

Another member on m5board had the same issue as me with the same wheels. Apparently, the 18mm spacers that came with the Breytons are hub adaptors. All he did was install his H&R 12mm spacers onto the hub, stacked the 18mm adpators and then the wheels.

All he needed were 55mm bolts and he's been happy ever since.

After getting re-assurance from TireRack that my Breytons have a confirmed center bore diameter of 72.56mm, and that the 18mm spacers that were supplied with the Breytons were only so that the wheels would clear the brakes...

I went ahead and orderd the 30mm H&R hubcentric spacers. These will bolt onto the hub, and then the wheels would bolt onto these spacers with stock bolts.

Fingers crossed.

Thanks to Reggie of TireRack and Doug of Turner Motorsports, I installed the 30mm H&R Hubcentric spacers and it's perfect!

I love the new stance
