20mm spacers all around? Crazy how sunk in the rear wheels are from the factory. I throw my swifts on this weekend when I paint the calipers, a set of spacers will definitely be needed to get the stock wheels to flush up.
Also what brand? There's a ton of reputable companies that offer spacers in the BMW world, not sure who makes quality spacers for our bolt pattern.

but spacers are HR with no built in studs...

Perfect, thanks. Stud remove and replace pretty straight forward on our hubs? I haven't had the car long enough to dig into any of this stuff before. Some just pound right out with the hub in place, and others you have to pull the hub to get them out haha.
I'll pull some measurements this weekend and add spacers to the to-do list.

I did them myself, rotors and calipers off then
hammer them out. Then you pull the extended ones back in by tighten them up.
As you progress, you get better and faster with it. Rear hand brake assembly can be tricky.
Front was quite easy, rear was hell. I used this for guidance.

Cool, thanks for the info. I've done them before, but it's a crapshoot seems like if there's room to wiggle them out or not. I've had some cars with bolted in hubs which are cake, and then some pressed in, which then the studs are commonly blocked without pressing out the wheel hub assembly.
The spacers on my Volvo were DRM or whatever they were called with the stud integrated for this reason.

I didn't make it up my driveway on the first attempt. Then scraped coming into the garage. lol. Typical hail storm in Colorado. Thankfully my car was in covered parking at work while the storm passed.

Nice, can't wait to see how it looks. Not sure which MY you have but either way pretty sure my 11' wheels didn't get any wider than the previous design. Offsets on the other hand I don't know.
