Wheel bolt length requirements

[iliad]

I just put some TSWs on my e30 with 1/4 inch spacers, can I use the factory lugs or will I need to buy longer bolts? Thanks,
Brian.

you just bought universal spacers and put fwd tsw's on? if so you should invest in the eibach pro spacers which are made for the e21 and e30. i will warn you though, they dont come at a cheap price!

yea i really didn't want to spend $300+ for spacers although if necessary I will.
Will I need longer bolts with 6.5mm spacers?

BMW wheels are hub centric so be sure the spacers you use are compatible as such. Personally I do not like spacers, more to cause an imbalance, or failure. I can go measure a BMW factory lug bolt if you need it?

The factory ones are 12 x 1.5 i believe,
I can get 3 or 4 rotations on the bolts

Does not sound like enough to me. I would get a little longer length, they do make them.
