Default BBS lug bolt question...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/1312/measurebolts.jpg"></center><p>I need to order some spacers but my 18x8.5 5x100 BBS CHs(CH002) aren't here yet. Therefore I don't know why type of bolts do BBS rims come with. Are they rounded or tapered? What's the length of the threaded part?

Many thanks!

Default My BBS VZ use the stock lugbolt. That makes it a rounded seat. The CH may be different.

But, if you are ordering spacers, it won't matter if the bolts are tapered or rounded.

The bolts you need are M14x1.5 and they need to be about 37mm long. If you are buying 8mm spacers, order bolts that are 8mm longer than the factory bolts. Same goes for any spacers that you are buying.

Hope that helps.

Default Depends on the wheel. My BBS RCs came with the appropriate lug bolts for the application...

I didn't need anything additional, but they are different than the stock wheels. Piece of advice, leave one set of the stock bolts in your trunk in case you have to mount the spare; it won't work with the BBS lug bolts.

BBS CHs require a tapered seat 29mm bolt (w/o the spacers)
