The width of the style 135M wheels (MSport pack option) is 245mm.

Not sure about the standard 530i wheels which are probably country specific.

 

hi,
i am living in Belgium. Is this legal ?

 

Yes. Living in Belgium is perfectly acceptable. J/K

On a serious note, I don't see why it would be illegal. The only issue you would come across is your tire rubbing the fender if the car bottoms-out, but perhaps someone else with these can give better feedback. As long as you have lugs that are long enough to hold the wheel, you should be fine.

From what I can tell, you would need to go to for at least a 25mm spacer per rear wheel to have any chance of rubbing when bottoming out.

 

What a difference Its just what the rear end needs as the 245's look a tad narrow on the back of the sport IMHO. Which is the reason I went for the 275's. Had I known about spacers I would probably have stuck with the 135's as I like the wheels a lot. The 3 series coupe gets 255's on the same style of wheel, which I find odd!

 

Just a heads-up

Take them off and lubricate them every once in a while I had H&R spacers on both my 525 and 545 (before going to different wheels) and in both cases...rust started to build up on the hub and/or behind the spacer and they became quite difficult to get off. With the 525 they had to be broken to be removed.

H&R Spacers and bolts

 

I agree If you mix different types of metals like alloy to steel than you will get the metal frozen to one another. Anti-seize solution may work also. It happened to me once and not even a air-rachet could remove the bolts. I would use some kind of lube and check it often. FYI

 

Thanks for the advice guys.

There is no thread where the bolts go through the spacers so I would not expect the bolts to seize.
l can however understand the possibility of rust forming between the rim & the spacer.

Can anyone suggest a good product to use to prevent this?

 

Thanks Merv.
I'd be happy to trade my 135's + spacers for your wheels
