Will 15 mm extended bolts work with 18mm spacers?

Bisan · 03-25-2010, 04:24 PM

As the title says?

Trying to play around with some ideas...I already have 18mm spacers with extended bolts but they are silver...

Want all black bolts on my new wheels, but need 12/15 mm spacers front rear but might run an 18 mm spacer in the back to see how i like the look....

Any idea if the 15 mm black bolts that I'll buy will work with the 18 mm spacer, or if it'll be safe enough to use?

thanks

Brand wise, I am either picking up the Macht s. from EAS or the turnermotorsport spacers...

I have no clue what you're talking about with 15mm lug bolts, but you're not even close for 18mm spacers. 24mm length is OEM (e.g. no spacers).

Read the link below. You need 42mm shaft length with 18mm spacers. You can also get your black lug bolts here.

Pretty sure he meant he has bolts that are +15 mm compared to stock and if those will work with 18 mm spacers. This would probably work just fine but I don't think I would do it. Just get the right bolts.

or are you referring to the bolt length that came with the 15mm spacers and are asking if they are fit for using 18mm spacer? eg. bolt is not technically 3mm short?

if that is the question, i would not do it. bolts and wheels are too risky to mess around with. try and get the proper size.

I had Macht Schnell 12mm/15mm spacers and the extended lugs were the same size, were they not?

when i bought 18/15mm spacers from Rogue Engineering the lugs were the same size for both.
