Do you need different wheel bolts for Iforged wheels?

M3to335 · 03-14-2007, 01:03 PM

Since my wheels should be arriving next week, does anyone know if I need different wheel bolts then the stockers? They seem to be a fairly small diameter, so that looks to be OK, but I didnt know if the length would need to be changed.

If so, what size, where did you get them, and how much?

This is a stupid question (I know) but its been a couple years since Ive put wheels on a Bimmer. Cant recall what I did last time.

The only thing would be the length if you were adding spacers, otherwise you should be good to go.

As long as you are not running spacers, you can reuse your stock bolts

You have to check the bolt-seat type on your new rims and compare with the BMW bolts.

No way, is that the reason they gave for your wheels being late?
