Hey guys,
Haven't been on the forums much.....I did the M5 brakes back in May. Its almost time to store my wheels, and run on my winter setup.
I tried searching but cannot find anything. How big spacer i need up front to clear my brakes with the factory 123's?
Thank in advance.

i don't think it's a matter of spacers, it's a matter of the inside diameter of the wheels themselves. might want to do a test fit, but the only 18s I know that fit the m5 brakes are the 184s and the 135s. I have the 19" 128s and I can't fit a finger between the caliper and the wheel.
Thank you.

Confirmed OEM Style 123 18's clear M5 brakes. Very little clearance, but it fits. I'm glad I dont have to get another set of wheels for my winter setup, and I get to keep my brakes!

Glad to know you're fine with the 123s. You'll need 20mm spacer and longer bolts to use the spare donut on the front.
