The BMW rim spacers increase the clearance between the wheel and the brake rotor. For those who plan on adding bigger brake calipers, wheel spacers will be a very useful solution. By increasing the track width, wheel spacers can improve stability, especially when cornering. Installing automotive spacers is the quickest and easiest way to driving experience.
Besides, a wider stance gives your car a more aggressive and sporty appearance. This aesthetic appeal is often a primary reason enthusiasts opt for wheel spacers. Because the unique look of the wheels being flush with the fenders is attractive. In this post, we will discuss do BMW rim spacers need longer wheel bolts and top brands.
What Size Wheel Bolts Do BMW Rim Spacers Use?
The most common stock wheel bolt sizes for a BMW car should be M14x1.25mm thread size, 27mm length, and cone seat type. After installing wheel spacers, a set of new longer lug bolts is necessary. Because the wheel and tire assembly must be held evenly and securely to the wheel hub by the wheel bolts. If the BMW rim spacers are not tightened securely, it can cause the wheel to vibrate, loosen, and wobble.
Assuming you have added a 15mm spacer between the wheel and hub assembly, you need 42mm wheel bolts to safely secure both the spacers and wheels. As a guideline claims, you need at least 7 turns (preferably 8 turns) from start to torque. So, make sure you have the proper number of turns after adding BMW rim spacers.
What Types of Wheel Bolts Do I Need for BMW Rim Spacers?
If you change to new aftermarket wheels, figuring out the correct wheel bolt seat type is important. Some extended wheel bolts are designed with floating seats. The floating seats are replaceable which allows for a perfect fit on any wheel. They are mainly available in two options depending on lug bolt size: conical seat and ball seat (R13 or R14). Since the floating seats are not fixed, they can effectively prevent your beautiful wheels from being scratched by the wheel bolts.
