Wheel spacers on factory 20" rims question
 

If I only get 10mm spacers for the factory 20" wheels (275/40/20, 315/35/20), can I use the same bolts or do I still need longer ones?

Thank you all in advance

very small you wont notice the deffrence

my friend just installed H&R .... 50mm front and 70 rear ...


i installed 50 mm front and 60 mm rear.. and you have to use both of them the bolts they provide and then ur bolts

The spacers usually come with longer bolts.

Man this is a great forum.. I never expected such fast replies. Yeah, I know 10mm isn't much, but I'm still trying to make it look kind of factory. Maybe I will go for 15mm. The reason why I thought 10mm initially is because OEM 21" rims come with 275/315 mm tire widths (10mm wider than mine) and I notice a significant different.. or maybe I'm just biased b/c they are 21's??

Thanks again guys,
Neil

can we see pics from the rear of ur car ?? to see how they look now ?

just make sure the tire/wheel doesnt extend past the wheel arch and you really cant go wrong.

X5 lug bolts have 50mm of thread. With a 10mm spacer you will lose 20% of the thread and therefore 20% of the strength. It's probably within the margin of safety built into the design but you can decide for yourself if you want to drive around under those conditions.
