12mm Spacer Wheel Bolts on 5mm Spacer

MrSmartyPants · 05-15-2019, 11:30 AM

I run a 12mm rear spacer on OEM wheels. Have some BC Forged wheels I'd like to run a 5mm spacer on. Can I use the wheel bolts for the 12mm spacers?

12mm spacer = 40mm bolt
5mm spacer = 33mm bolt

7mm longer

Will it hit or interfere with anything behind the hub?

Answered my own question.

Did some more research and the parking brake is integrated behind the hub. Just going to use the correct length bolt.

Easy to check. Put in two bolts and slowly turn the wheel and check.
