Length of wheel bolts?

I have spacers on my F31 335d with 19" wheels on. I need to take the spacers off, but I cant find the original bolts. Anyone know what length the originals are.

I imagine the ones I have on now, that have a thread of 45 mm are too long to refit fit the wheels without spacers.

How much is a set of 25 inc locking wheel nuts. Only need some cheapo ones as I'll put the spacers back on in a week or two.

Thanks

Standard have 27mm thread. Yours might be ok, put them in and spin the wheel, if it spins and there's no scraping sounds then it's all good.

If they don't touch the hub, how would it be dangerous!?

VERY dangerous?

How about he only puts 2 bolts in and leaves it like that, less chance of it hitting something inside the hub 😂

£30 a set of 20.

I've got a full set of standard 27mm ones which I could post and you could borrow and post back but suspect that you paying postage both ways would be more than half the price of some new ones.

At least if you buy standard bolts you can sell on the spacers + bolts when you change car in the future and recoupe the money?

I have buckets of standard bolt sets with locks. Cover the postage and I'll send you a set.
