Do I need new bolts for bigger rims?

Ghibli · 12-30-2020, 09:19 AM

I just bought a set of 19" rims from my friend, I currently have stock 17" on my 07 335i e92. Do I need to get new bolts? Or can I use my old ones

There is not enough information for us to tell you if you need new bolts. Assuming the hub bolt depth is not too different then you should be ok.

What you could try doing is taking off the old wheels and wheel bolts, stick a bolt in each wheel and check to see how many threads are actually coming out of the other side. If they are comparable then you are fine, if they aren't then you might need longer/shorter ones.
