I believe you get an option on the X5M to get smaller brake calipers to accommodate the 19" wheels.

smaller brakes but exclusive high performance brake fluid which bites the rotors with the strength of a thousand labradoodles. #UltimateDenialMachine

Haven't posted pictures in a while…
Got the spacers and installed them yesterday. It was late so I didn't drive my car much, but this morning I went out and whilst backing up, I noticed I could see my tires in my side mirrors. Is it just me or are my tires sticking out a bit more than they should?

I was mainly concerned due to the chamfered edge on the spacers sitting against the hub I thought perhaps they were not sitting flat or something since from the top they looked like there was a gap. I tried to slide some really thin shims into that space to make sure there was no gap, and I am now assured that they are indeed sitting flat and just the chamfered edge looking like a gap against the rotor.

Running spacers in the rear is fine without this problem. I've had 13-20mm in the back of my X5M and to me 15mm is the sweet spot for most wheels.

Let's see some pics! Since now I can see my tires, means no way I'm curbing again! I tend to park as close to the curb as possible (both courtesy and mostly because I don't want to be the one side swiped). One of my neighbors parks three feet from the curb.
