The JConcepts rear hexes are close, but with my B5M rear wheels the track width actually gets about 3mm narrower on my 2015 car. With the stock hexes and wheels, the axles protrude about 1 thread beyond the wheel nut on each side.

Ironically I just tried this last night. I had long ago tried it with my 2014 car and wondered if I'd get the same results with the 2015 kit. The problem isn't so much the hex width as it is the off-set of the B5M wheels to the XRay wheels. This is especially true with the front wheels. The front of the car gets dramatically wider when you try to use the JConcepts 12mm hex and B5M front wheels.
