I measured my stock bolts at 32mm so adding 15mm spacers gave me 47mm. 45mm will obviously reduce the thread contact, something you do not want to do with spacers so I tried 50mm and tried them for brake shoe clearance. All OK but I suspect 55mm would foul.

X5Girl, xxx

where did you get the 55mm bolts?

X5GIRL,
Great write up..Thanks for sharing with us.

I would go for the rear 4.6/4.8is extended fender flares!If you have driven you car in the wet and seen the state of the rear bumper,you will know what I mean ;)

This is where I get my wheel bolts, these have the separate cones as on the original BMW bolts.
