We just installed one of the F56 JCW brake kits and had to use our WMW 15mm spacers, it was a nice tight fit as anything less wouldn't have worked.



Here are the 15mm spacers we used

any follow up on this question?

also, did you guys replace the brake lines as well. i don't think the kit comes with brake lines. i would think if you're changing it all out, you might as well change the brake lines as well.
