Burger Motorsports Spacers ? ? ?

I just installed 15 mm in the rear and 10 mm in the front. I noticed that the bolts were all the same lengths. All appeared to be 15 mm longer than stock. Does this seem correct? I have not taken it for a drive yet, waiting for the wife to get home to watch the kids. Anybody have this experience before?

Perhaps the bolts were misboxed. Each spacer kit 10, 12, 15, and 18 has it's own length bolts but it doesn't really matter much as long as the ones you have are around 15mm longer as they all clear the hubs anyway. Sounds like you're good to go.

I just got some BMS spacers as well. I ordered 15mm and 12 mm. Put them on yesterday. Same thing the bolts are the same length. The bolts fit in the front but stick out in the back. I don't like the way they look in the back. Jason at BMS was great with helping in ordering the spacers.

You guys got screwed. The bolts should be different lengths depending on the mm size. Email BMS.

Pictures? I was thinking on the same setup but worried it will rub the rear under heavy load or bumps. So I'm thinking maybe 12mm in the back an 10mm front

I will be contacting BMS tomorrow about the bolt length. It looks terrible how far they protrude out.

I'll try and get some pictures tonight. I am running stock 17" though, so might not match the off-set you have.

I also emailed with Jason from BMS. He said if I took a picture of the bolts showing that they are the same, he would send me another set to fix any mismatched bolts.
