Longer wheel locking nuts

Post by x5e53 » Tue Jun 28, 2016 11:08 am

Can anyone recommend a set of 4 (1 per alloy) for my X5?
I have 30mm spacers on them.

A link/url would be perfect.

Hi you are best going with HR spacers or the like as the spacers bolt to the hub , then the wheels bolt to the spacers , as using longer bolts puts stress on the threads which can end up with you owning a 3 wheeled X5 ! 
  Have you informed your insurance about the spacers as some class it as a mod & wont insure you ?

+1 on puzzled by the fitting, and insurers do need to know nowadays.  Any excuse not to pay.......
