What Brands 15mm Spacer Will Fit Rear w/o Altering Dust Cap?

Hi everyone,

I was just reading a thread that certain length / brand spacers won't fit the rear m235i without removing the dust cap.

I'm looking to get 15mm spacers and was wondering if anyone had one too that was able to fit without messing with the dust caps?

Just remove them and put them on top of the spacer's hub, it's not a big deal. Some even choose not to have them on at all.

I have BMS spacers and they just "slipped" right on with no cap issue.

That's really weird, I have the same but they will not sit flush on top of the caps.... they will fit but there will be a gap between the spacer and the wheel hub...

Interesting, I have 10mm, 12mm and 15mm spacers and have had all of them on and off again and again when i was playing with the looks. Strange...

What kind of glue do I use to make them stick to the spacers so they don't fall off when the wheels rotate?

I used some silicon glue so is easy to remove. You don't need a lot

Remove dust caps and install if the spacers don't sit correctly
