Can you put wheel spacers on winter set?

I know that in the winter set for xdrive models,should be the same size all 4 wheels,for the sistem to work,but why with the all season wheels can be asimetrical (front and back) so my question is :

It s ok to use spacers for the rear wheels?

I used spacers on my e70 (H&R 25mm) for 4 years. By the end of the 4 years (I only had them on in the winter and removed when the summer tires went back on) they were showing wear and stress that made me uncomfortable to use them in the future. They were dropped off at a metal recycling center and I made the decision to forego spacers on my f15.

With that being said, they did make the rear look WAY better..I'm just not willing to compromise safety for it.

You can. Is it recommended? No...but you can without any major issues.
