Andy545 - as you have a 545i I was wondering if you had to change the 'dust cover plate' (plate that sits behind the hole disc on the rears (with the 545i having a bigger setup than the 520i) as it's mention above that I may have to purchase two?

Updated the hubs today and made them "M5 like" with 2 holes on each rotor.

Also, I checked the 17" spare wheel mounted along with the front M5 brakes. I tried it with 15 mm spacer in the front and the clearance between caliper and spare wheel is 2mm 
(with 15mm spacer -or more- works perfect to the rear ..with M5 brakes)
I'd suggest to those with M5 brakes that a 20mm spacer (and 20mm longer boltsX5) is good/safe enough for both front and rear, in case of a flat tire

I'm still awaiting shipment of rear M5 calipers to complete my rear M5 brakes setup.

With 10 mm, the spare tire can turn but it touches the caliper.
I am thinking to get a wood 3 mm more. Bolts should be enough also for +3 mm.
