I'm planning to get 5mm spacers for some wheels i'm getting, and from what I gather (being the first time owning a euro car) I'm going to need longer bolts for the rear. If that's not correct please let me know!

My question is can I use those same longer bolts for the front as well? The fronts don't need spacers and I'd rather have one set of lug bolts rather than 2 different specs for front and rear.

please dont' ask why i need spacers :P

Thanks!

I don't know if they will interfere with anything on the front. If you don't get a firm answer to your question just pull a front rotor and have a look.

Itis usually much safer to use longer lug bolts on the front then on the rear. the problem with the rear is that you have the E-brake assembly behind the rotor and the longer bolts will interfere with that, the front usually does not have anything. I am pretty confident that a 35mm lug bolt will be no problem on the front. After you install the wheel with the longer lug bolts, spin it by hand and make sure that it turns freely.

The rear stocks are 27mm..
so at minimum get 30mm you need at least 5 full rotations.. so that is about 3mm or so if my memory serves me right..

Oh and by that i mean, you can by a set of 10 only..

Be careful of adding to long nuts in the front or rear..
Why would you not just keep the lugs you have now in the font?
Are you getting a set of black ones?

If you set on using them, with the front jacked up just free run the feel and feel if it binds..
