ECS Tuning,
I have a problem with my order. I ordered the H&R 20mm spacers for the front of my X5 but the bolts it came with arent the right ones. When my tire guy mounted the spacers using the supplied bolts, the head of the bolt stuck out almost 1/2" and so the rim couldnt mount flush agains the spacer.

F! So this happened to two of the steel threaded inserts on same H&R DRA wheel spacer... Both are pulling out (they stopped at the backside of wheel). The pic with two bolts is showing the two inserts are are pulling out. Not sure why As I always only torqued the wheel spacer to hub with 100 ft-lbs and same torque when putting wheel onto this spacer using factory bolts. Wtf.

That's weird. What does the back side of a good hole look like? Now I'm kind of worried because I put DRAs on the S5.

The last pic is the good insert backside. The second last pic showing the backside sucked into tapered hole because of over torqueing (sp?)
