Wheel Lug Sizing for Spacers?
 
2013 X5 50i

I picked up some 12mm spacers for my new ride and I am looking for some extended wheel lugs and I noticed there are two different 14mm wheel studs that are listed for some of the newer BMW's. 14mm x 1.25 or the 14mm x 1.5. The rear 30mm spacers I bought came with some bolts but the fronts did not and they are clearly too short for safety.

Any help would be appreciated.

Be sure that those 30mm spacers don't cause road debris to pepper the front portion of the rear quarter panels. I understand 25mms are just the right size to prevent such damage. Also, I got my 15mms fronts from an place that included the lugs.

I purposely bought the 30mm to go with my 336 wheels. They are exactly the look I was going for. Thanks though.

With a 30mm spacer which bolts between the hub and the wheel you'll typically want a 14x1.25x60mm conical lug bolt. To double check measure the thread length of your stock bolts then add the size of the spacer to it to create a ruff length.

Typically when going to a spacer over 20mm we suggest going with a spacer which first bolts to the hub, then the wheel bolts to the spacer.

I'm not inquiring about the rear 30mm spacers as they're already mounted and came with the required bolts (H&R DRA's). I was asking the thread pitch to buy longer bolts for the front. You did, however, answer my question by accident.

Do you offer bolts with the additional 12mm required for the front?

Thanks,
Jesse

Oups sorry about that up front with your 12mm spacer you'll want 14x1.25x43mm lug bolts

iPhone fail. Edit

Will these work for the 12mm up front?

I have the Black H&R ones (special order from H&R) available HERE. And our ECS silver bolts avaible HERE in 14x1.25x43mm.

Jesse@MBRP 09-04-2012 04:43 PM

Sweet. Thx for your help. Are the 50mm just a tad too long I'm guessing?

From my experience yes, they bottom out into the hub from what I recall.
