So i'm in the market for some extended locking wheel bolts as I'm sizing up on my spacers. I've found a supplier but need to know am I looking for 60 degree, radius or flat seating bolts on an E89 with 326 M's?
Any help much appreciated.

Re: Wheel Bolts Query
They are 60 degrees, and its important too as they ensure concentricity of the wheel to the hub

Re: Wheel Bolts Query
I used to have some lovely stainless steel bolts (incl. locking bolts) on an old 911 which really helped set off the wheels. Are there any suppliers who make stainless steel bolts which would fit the Z4 wheels/hubs?

Re: Wheel Bolts Query
There are a few, performance alloys online and mstyle for starters, I'm having to get mine machined down as I'm running some larger spacers. Unfortunately I couldnt source the locking bolts from the same place, hence the query.Z4-35i wrote:I used to have some lovely stainless steel bolts (incl. locking bolts) on an old 911 which really helped set off the wheels.

Re: Wheel Bolts Query
Thanks socketr.
I've had a look at the sites you suggested, but was looking for some bolts with this sort of finish if they are available?
These are what we fitted to our old 911, not cheap though at £132 for 20 bolts, but the quality and finish was excellent.

Re: Wheel Bolts Query
Those look very nice Z4-35i. I just had my second test fitting of the spacers with the bolts tonight, not catching or anything and the wheels look very flush. In fact I might have to remove some wheel lining but I'll see how I go.
