I need to know the wheel size too.
If you have the last 7 of VIN, go ahead PM it to me, and I'll look it up.

Ben just installed my kneepads today, and while there did spacers on my 612M.

As Los Angeles has so many curbs, i went with his recommendation of 5 front and 12 rear. Aggressive, but not too much.

THANKS BEN!!!

The lug bolts listed on my website are for when you use wheel spacer.
H&R sells the lug bolts separately, that's why I have it as an option on my website.
I got a few cases where the customer thinks that my price is high where others quoted them without the lug bolts.

For F85 with 612M, I recommend 5/12 for conservative setup and 15/15 for flush setup.

Thank you for your business and support as always.

I definitely don’t want the front to stick out. They are close to being even now so I think 5mm may be fine up front.
Ben, you said 30 in the rear, may go a little more conservative. Possibly around 20mm.
What are your thoughts?

You can't compare what I recommend to you with the guys that are running 20" or 21". Your wheel size is different.
Your wheel is 19x9 +48 all around.

While the guys with 20" are 20x10 +40 front and 20x11 +37 rear.
21" 612M is 21x10 +40 front and 21x11.5 +38 rear.

That itself, your front wheel is 1" more narrow. 1" is 25.4mm.
While your rear is 2" more narrow, 2" is 50.8mm.

Best way is, to measure it with a straight line from the fender to the ground, then use a ruler to measure the distance from the wheels/tires to the location where you want it to be.

I hope that help.

Measured my tires with a plum line to center cap. The front tire sits in 1/4” from fender trim. The rear tire sits in 1 1/8” from fender trim.

That means, you need 6.35mm on the front and 28.38mm on the rear.
5mm front and 25mm rear is your best bet then.

Thought I swing back into this thread since it was so helpful for me to find the right choice. Ended up getting my spacers and TPMS sensors from Ben

Here are some pics of my setup:

22" 612m reps (22x10 ET 40 front, 22x11 ET 35 Rear). 20mm H&R spacer in rear only. Fronts already sitting pretty damn close to flush as is.

Looking good.
Thank you for your business.

Ordered the 20mm H&R spacers for the rear from Ben at RG Sports. Just what I was looking for. Sits inline with the front wheels. Gives the appearance of wider rear tires.
Very happy.
Once again Ben has been very helpful with another order.

Hi Ben,

Can you send me two quotes for my 2017 F15 M Sport w/469m:

Just 15mm rear plus extended bolts
5mm front and 15mm rear plus extended bolts

How much would it cost to ship to Vancouver, BC

Do you know where to find extended wheel locks?

Thanks!

I stock lug bolts too, I am not too sure where you can get lug bolts in BC, Canada.

Looks great and 15/20 is not too aggressive.

OEM 21" tires and wheels fitted on 2018 X5M. I installed Dinan springs and H&R spacers a while back. At that time I had the vehicle aligned and routine service completed. Shortly after I went on a 1500 mile road trip and it handled well without issue. I have not driven the car since but my wife has used it locally a few times but outside of that it has remained in the garage for several months. I came back from a 500 mile or so road trip this past week and I was fighting to keep it straight at highway speeds. 72-75mph a noticeable drift presented itself but 80mph+ was a chore to keep in line. Initially I thought it was the wind because of the weather or the crown in the road but it is present on all roads, in all conditions at any speed over 72mph. Any suggestions on what may be the issue or should I re-align now that the vehicle has settled or wait until winter tires are on and then do do tires, wheels and alignment all together?

Thanks for posting. Just what I was looking for. I have the same wheels and lowered on H&R. I have 5mm front and 12mm in the rear and have been debating if I should go 20 in the rear. Hard to tell from the pics but do the rears poke at all?

Ben can you send me a quote for 20mm shipped to south florida. Will you take the 12mm in trade

[AECDY]

Wheels are 22x10 offset 40 in the front and 22x11 offset 35 in the rear. Spacers are 5mm front and 12mm rear.

It could be one of the front wheel nudged parking block or curb.
I always avoid of hitting parking block or curb, but when it happened, I always notice that the toe changed.

Tire pressures differnce can always do that.

It is almost impossible to do a perfeft alignment.
A slight drift is normal, but big drift is a no no.

For your setup, I would do 15/20. Same as the regular 469M. The only difference, your rear is 2mm more aggressive.

Let me know if you want a quote for 20mm only or a whole new set of 15/20.

I should have listen to you to begin with. Please send me both options. I guess I will be posting the 5/12 up for sale soon

Front PSI is 42 and Rear PSI is 46. Cold.
It is a noticeable drift to the point where the vehicle tracks into another lane or will dart left to right and right to left unless holding the steering wheel.
