F10 M5 OEM Wheels Trial Fit on LCI 5-MSport

I got as far as just mounting one of the front wheels to notice that it wouldn't clear the brake caliper. Is the caliper on the LCI different from pre-LCI's? Anyway, it looks like it's going to need a spacer to make it work.

Do the OEM 343 M5 20" wheels fit fine on pre-LCI's?

Never tried them on my 2011 535 M-Sport ... but I do run the 343Ms on my LCI 550xi and I need a small spacer to clear the caliper. (Can't remember if I went 5mm or 10)

Yeah it looks like the caliper on the LCI is a little different. Apparently, it's a non-issue on the pre-LCI's. What brand/type of spacer did you get? Any vibrations? Could you find out if you went 5mm or 10? Seems to me 5mm may not be enough. Thanks for the info!

Great. Thanks for the info. Any vibrations? Do the wheels stick out too far? Thanks again.

Im sure you guys have figured this out but not me until I went to the dealership with my 2012 550ix and compared calipers. Wanting some 343 wheels on mine and have found that the pre LCI (mine) has a tapering inwards on the edge AND a circular cut out on the long bar part of the caliper where the LCI is totally flat with a circular cut out near the wheel and that seems to be the clearance difference.
