Are longer bolts needed for a 5mm spacer?

AU335 · 04-06-2009, 09:24 AM

As the title asks... With only a 5mm spacer, do i need to buy longer bolts or will the OEMs work?

Yes, you need at least 6 rotations for it to be safe. I just ordered some 5mm H&R for my LC Dyna's.. hoping they won't rub.

Running the same rim...You have +37 in the rear right? Running 275's?

Yea I saw your post, looks good. Running +37 with 265 F1 asymmetrics. Spacers should be on by the weekend.

Yes you'll need the extended bolts!

Its wierd but the 5mm spacers and the 10 mm spacers come with the same size bolts. Im trying to sell my dynas and theyre not moving. wierd because its an awesome wheel. might powdercoat them satin silver and keep them.
