XDrive and wheel spacers HELP

edy74 · 06-09-2020, 10:15 AM

Hi.
I have a 640d xdrive(the first xdrive for me) and I read on a Uk fb page that spacers can affect xdrive and gearbox.

I have 20” oem 703 M wheels and I want to use (see photo) 20mm/wheel H&R DRA system for the rear wheels and 15mm/wheel with long bolts for the front wheels.
Will this setup affect the gearbox and xdrive in time?
Thank you.

Spacers do not effect xDrive. The only thing that effects xDrive is if you miss match over all wheel diameters.

I know about the wheel diameters but I wanted to be sure that spacers wont affect xdrive, after all is like I have rims with another ET.....
Thank you.

Not the same car, but I ran Eibach Spacers on a 335d x drive for 3 years with no issues.

Had them recommended and fitted by UK AC Schnitzer dealer.

Make the car look so much better, when coupled with lowering springs.

Thank you for the info.
H&R HAS is what I have in mind but I have adaptive drive and I do not want to mess with it for now, the car is still under waranty.
Nice job on ig
