Lug bolts for 19" upgrade

Jeff SJ · #1 05-29-2009, 11:07 PM

Just sitting here reading posts and started thinking about my 19" upgrade(OEM) from oem 18's. They seem to need the same length but I wonder if the OEM lug bolts for 19's are a slight bit different than the 18's. Anyone know?

The same, but BMW changed from 19mm to 17mm at some point in the production cycle (around early 2005). Make sure you get the right ones.

2007 E70 so I assume 19mm? No difference in bolts then between 18 and 19's?

Sorry my mistake, what I meant to say was that the E70 wheel bolts were changed sometime in their production run and have a different profile. You should make sure you get the right ones for your hubs.

They are the original bolts used with the oem 18's so made for the hub. I guess there were no differences in lengths for the 18's and 19's then? I upgraded to 19's but only have the original bolts. Just started thinking that maybe I need to change to a different bolt, that maybe they are different.
