5mm wheel spacers on rear

Will I need longer wheel bolts when putting these rear spacers on or will the standard wheel bolts suffice.

If you can get at least 6 turns in with your standard wheel bolts you should be ok. Personally I would go with extended bolts for peace of mind.

Waiting for my 295's to wear out, then when I fit the 305's in waiting I'll fit the spacers and post a picture.

Buy spacers from BMS
They come with bolts and I've had perfect results on last 2 cars with them

Can I ask, did you buy your 5mm wheel spacers in the UK and if so, where did you get them?

I'm going the 305 tyres route and was thinking I might space them out, just a little bit.

UK E-bay job.Pair of spacers made by Extremealloywheels. BMW 5x120. 72.6 hub centric.

17mm Bolts are by trs-uk. 10xM14x1.25, 33mm thread tapered wheel bolts.
Good luck!
*can use the locking wheel nuts if you wish, its over six turns to tighten.

Thank you for that.

I'm going to hold off purchasing some for the moment, since I posted this morning I have decided to order the NO (Porsche version) of the PS4's which are supposed to have .4 inch (10mm) wider tread than the standard 305's while keeping the same actual tyre section width.

I'll fit them first and see what they look like.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated!

This is NOT a good idea!

The Porsche version of the 305 P4s have a tread width of 320, too big!

I have now fitted standard 305 P4's with no spacer and I think I'll leave it at that.

Thanks for all the help.

Yeah,I'd stick to the standard,those Porsche ones are extra wide tread for the engine over wheels traction of a 911.

Mine are just 5mm from them..On ebay just punch in 5mm spacers for BMW then check if for F10 M5.
Mine are just on the back wheels,I have none on the front.
15mm spacers is way too much I think and as your having h&r lowered it may catch more.
Best bet is to first get the springs fitted first then go from there...I'd say 10mm max. Good luck!

Bolts should be 33mm for 5mm spacers, standard are 28mm.
