H&R 30mm spacers that reuse old studs
Can someone please confirm that I'm understanding correctly what needs to happen if I use these H&R 30mm spacers:

http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html...ip=20901&GO=GO

1) The stock wheel studs will need to be removed from my hub.

2) The spacer bolts to my hub with the supplied bolts using the existing stud holes in the hub.

3) The stock wheel studs will then be installed onto the spacer.

4) Mount the wheel like normal using stock wheel nuts and lock.

So ... I don't need to buy longer wheel studs right? Am I missing something here?

Correct. Have the same spacers on my X5.

Keep in mind you do not have permanent lug studs and removable nuts like other cars... you have lug studs! Thats how the germans do it better

Until some clueless employee at a wheel/tire shop strips the thread and they have to retap/chase down the thread! LOL

which is why you can justify paying a few dollars extra for experience

Yeah, I've stripped my own threads on my old E-class. Having a drill/tap set is handy.
