Help please: Wheel bolts
I recently purchased a set of 10mm Eibach spacers for my rear wheels. However, now I have a small issue. I want the lug bolts to match on all my wheels and I've been told that the spacers ship with silver lug bolts only.
Does anyone know where I can buy some black lug bolts to replace the ones that ship with the Eiback spacers? I've been told my OEM ones will be too short. What size/length do I need? Alternatively (although I'd prefer black) I'm prepared to buy silver ones for the fronts to match the Eiback bolts. Does anyone know where I can get these. Thanks, Matt. |

I don't recommend that you take chances with lug bolts. Use the ones supplied by Eibach with the Eibach spacers. They should be the correct length and have the correct shoulder bevel to match the wheel they are to be used with. I suppose you could paint or dye the crowns...

Matt, you wont be ablo to find a black longer bolts for the rear to match the 10mm spacer. I went to some dealers, reseached them, no luck though. Second, if you paint the lugs, the paint will not stick thus tightening the lugs will crack the paint. I was suppose to have it powder coated but its not worth the money and they cant guarantee that it will work. Best bet is to get some matching lugs for the fronts.
I prefer the black bolts like you do but the spacer makes a big difference.. |

I just happened to run across this site (Turner Motor Sports) while researching spacers, and they have some TMS 75mm and 90mm black lug bolts for the E90. I know nothing about such items, so I'm not even sure these are "extended length" bolts, but I thought I'd pass it along in the event this is what you were looking for.
Fletch!
