M469 on a "narrow" body?

Hi guys..

The question is pretty straightforward..

Will the M469 fit on the nonM F15 without sticking out too much, or are the M package flares a must??

Bought the wheels and would like to have it all ready before spring

Maybe some pics of your rides on 20" without M flares??

Thanks in advance

BMW F15/F85 OEM wheels without spacers always seems a bit sunken into the body, for both the non flared and flared versions of the F series X5.
So M-sport and F85's with factory wheel factory optioned cars, looks way better when you add spacers.
I can't say for sure all OEM M-sport and F85 wheels will look great on a non flared F15, but from what I have seen, most of them fits about perfect without spacers.
If they stick out a bit, get lowering springs, and it will look great!

Without fender flares, the wheels are sticking out of the bodywork line, making them illegal in Germany.

Good call, I totally forgot about how strict things can be in Europe.
