Smaller Hub & Bearing Cap?
Hey folks,
I've got an interesting issue I thought I'd ask for your help with. I recently ordered Forgestar wheels, but the rear wheels didn't fit due to the fact that the Hub & Bearing cap on my 2015 F32 xdrive protrudes too far so the wheels wouldn't mount properly. I had to use spacers to make them fit. Does anyone know of caps that are shorter or fit completely inside of the hub/axle? Apparently not all rear axles are like this, so Forgestar didn't account for the extra 2-3mm. Any ideas on how I could replace that hub and bearing dust cap so I can use the wheels without spacers? I found these, but they look exactly like what I already have. Any help is appreciated! https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-part...VkIFByb2R1Y3Rz |

Mine aren't that color either. Mine originally fell out very easily. I had to spread the springs that are supposed to provide grip wider to get them to fit securely. Between the different color and knowing how easily they fall out I wonder if someone who worked on the car lost the originals and tossed in whatever they had lying about.
