Hey guys,

I have a 2016 BMW 550i xdrive with 343m M5 F10 rims and since its a LCI 550i xdrive it requires a spacer to clear the caliper.

I was wondering, what spacer do you guys who have the same 343m wheels on their lci 550.

I know there are hub centric spacer and regular ones. I'm not sure what to get. I have a 5mm spacer now and I do feel vibration. These are the spacers: https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-5...2-f10-f13-f25/

Online on tunermotorsport for a 5mm spacer it says:

"This spacer slips on the existing hub lip and leaves some lip left over for the wheel to rest on. This keeps the wheel hubcentric*.
* - To avoid vibration, 3mm spacers work best with wheels that have a flush mounting surface. Wheels that have a bevel around the mounting surface will not be fully seated on the hub and a vibration may result."


1. Does the 343m have a bevel?
2. Do you recommend a hub centric or not hub centric spacer for this issue?

343M has a bevel. That said, I ran a 3mm spacer with no vibrations.

Which spacer/brand spacer did you use? I am having vibrations with 5mm spacer

I ordered this 3mm spacer to be installed: https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-5...-1-pair-black/

What are your thoughts on it?

5mm will not let you sit on the hub properly. I used the turner ones.

Do you think this would work: https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-599059-dr-series-wheel-spacers-3mm-1-pair-black/

Probably, but I'd skip any spacer that lacks a cutout to fit a screwdriver into on the "back". They're going to corrode to the hub eventually, and without that cutout, it's devilishly hard to remove them.

These are the ones that I got when I used to run 3's. Note the cutouts on the back that I refer to.

Do they call more vibrations?

None that I could tell.
