After doing some reading, I ordered Macht Schnell 15mm spacers for the front and 12mm spacers for the rear. I also ordered 95mm F and 75mm studs R. Unfortunately they sent studs for the newer F type BMWs so they will not fit (why would BMW change to 14mm studs...). Positive note, they are sending me new studs

My question is: has anybody used Macht Schnell 15mm spacers with Macht Schnell 75mm studs? If so, do you get the proper 6.5 turns of thre4ad engagement? Reason I ask is I have serious OCD and I am worried that the different stud lengths will drive me nuts.

If I cannot use 75mm studs on all 4 corners, I will likely return the 15mm spacers and 95mm studs and just go with 12mm spacers with 75mm studs on all 4 corners.

OCD is a wonderful thing...

I've never seen someone order different size studs front and rear. Why not just get 95mm and not worry??

Yeah, I have another car with 95mm studs and I do not like the "Ben-Hur" look. I should have thought more about this prior to ordering but it is winter, so lots of time to get things figured out.

I think I will change things up and use 12mm on all 4 corners with 75mm studs.

I use 75mm studs with 15mm spacers and no problems at all. I actually prefer 75 over 95 because it looks good with and without a spacer. 95mm might be a bit too long without a spacer.

Also, make sure to clean and torque it properly with the spacers because they do tend to shimmy the wheel around 80mph if they aren't put on properly.

For sure! Thanks.
