WTB - 40 mm spacers in size 72.56 for X5M rear hubs

Looking to purchase 40mm spacers for the rear of my X5M - Anyone have these? Looking to get my 10" winter wheels flush with my lowered M, and the 25mm spacers aren't doing it.

I know Motorsport-tech.com will make them.


Edit - is there any reason NOT to go with 40mm spacers?

I used Motorsports Tech before and recomment them. To me, 40mm is hanging them out pretty far so You'll obviously have to bolt on spacers. H&R's biggest is 30mm in the US but I think they have a bigger one in Europe.

Yes, Definitely bolt-ons. That's what I was finding, that there is nothing available off the shelf, so I ordered up a set from Motorsport tech.

I am running a square set of 20" x 10", 35 offset, Ave Convex wheels with 275/40/20, with Nokian Hakka 7 studded snows. Since they are only 10" v the stock 11" wheel on the M, they are really tucked without a spacer, and I am lowered pretty far, so even with a 25 mm spacer they look tucked.

I ordered the snows with a 74.1 bore all around, and use rings in the rear so I can rotate the tires, and widened my resale base to all X5's if I decide to sell.

Since I am having these spacers custom made, they will be hubcentric to the hub at 72.56, and also hubcentric to the wheel at 74.1 - since I would only use these with my snows due to the width, a year round bore isn't required. I also had them anondized, so they will be black and look a little less obtrusive than bare aluminum 25mm spacers do. They will blend really well with the black caps on my Adams Rotors and my black wheels.

For a custom product, and at this size, the price is pretty damn reasonable, too.

Here's a picture to show what it looks like with only a 25mm spacer:
