Need wheel bolts for 15MM Rogue Spacers.

I ordered a set of 15mm spacers from Rogue today for all 4 wheels. Their website said they don't stock or source any bolts for X5s.

Has anyone here installed these spacers? Where can I get high quality bolts and what size do I need?

Thanks.

Original BMW lug bolts are 25mm. The following bolts are required for adequate thread penetration when using spacers. Make sure to order the required number of bolts for your vehicle. We recommend the following sizes when using spacers: 5mm and 8mm spacer - 35mm extended lug bolt, 15mm spacer - 45mm extended lug bolt, 20mm spacer - 50mm extended lug bolt, and with 25mm spacers the stock lug bolts are recommended.

Thanks for the the help guys.

Are the Rogue ones better than the Eibachs?

Since Rogue's office is closed until jan 2, I'm sure I can still cancel my order if I want and get some other ones.

And thanks for the link to BMP for the lug bolts. Do you know if they will rust? Kirk has some lugs when he put his 10mm spacers on, that are starting to get rusty.

Thanks!

hey doc, what do you think
seems like no one out there has black bots, if we get the bolts, what chemicals or superstrength paint should be use to refinish the bolt tips?
