Looking for whatever size spacer is needed to run the stock Style 135s with the BMWP calipers.

It looks like a 5-8mm spacer would work to be safe. I need 2 spacers plus the associated hardware shipped to 41051. Thanks in advance.

You’ll need to achieve the equivalent of ~ET41 minimum, from my experience.

I already had the CSLs, but I test fit my 135s out of curiosity. 5mm (8J ET42mm) didn’t clear but stacking my two 3mm spacers (to make an effective ET41) did clear.

3mm on my 8.5J ET45 CSLs lightly scrape, but 5mm clears just fine.

So I’ll need over 5 for sure, 8mm would probably suffice???

Yep 8 will suffice, but 10 might be easier to find.

Delete this please, wanted to give it 12-18 hours on here and try to buy from a member that had them laying around. Ordered (4) 10mm spacers with hardware for 140 shipped

I’d go with the 17x8.5 ET40 (same as @san and I think @BMWcurves have). You can always snag some 3mm pretty inexpensively if you want to fine tune your fitment.

Thanks man, I bent the shit out of my 135's and got an insurance check burning a hole in my pocket!

I never thought about claiming it when I broke 2 at the same time...
