Help Sizing my Bolts

rukz · 04-20-2022, 10:03 AM

Hello,

I unfortunately have lost my set of summer bolts for my tire/wheel setup.

I have no idea what size bolts I would need and have called a few shops in my area but they are not sure either.

If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated-

I have a 2011 335i xDrive Sedan msport

The wheels I have are

19"x9 +35 and 19x10 +42 Vossen VSF1 Matt Graphit 5x120 Alloy

The Tires I have are:

235-35-19 on the fronts
265-30-19 on the rears

I know that my bolts were a lot longer for the rears and even front bolts I think were longer than the stock ones...

Any help is greatly appreciate thanks!!

I'm not a wheel expert, but I've never heard of needing different lug bolts when switching between 2 alloy wheels. They are generally only needed when spacers are used. Have you tried sticking the stock bolt through the Vossens and looked to see if a decent amount of thread comes through the backside? Or, better yet compare that to the other wheels.
