For those of you that are researching wheels, spacers, bolts and stud kits you want to take a look at our BMW Wheel Thread and Bolt Pattern Guide. Getting the right hardware is critical as there is a minimum engagement length and number of turns required for each car. For 12×1.50mm bolts you need approximately 10mm of length or 6.5 turns. With 14×1.25 you need 12mm in length or 9.0 turns. 14×1.50 will require 12mm in length or 7.5 turns. If you don’t meed the minimum engagement, your studs or bolts will most likely fail prematurely.

Spacer requirements vary by car. Outside factors such as coilover perch clearance, brake caliper clearance, fender clearance and other factors may limit your hardware selection. We always recommend to start with the wheel first and test fit before you make a decision on getting hardware.
