Spacers and bolts on a 2010 G55
I just bought a 2010 G55 and I am loving every second of it. Blk/blk or as my girl calls it the mafia bus!

I got 30mm H&R spacers but the factory bolts were too short!! Anybody run into this problem? I bought after market 14.4X1.5 but the guy that sold me the bolts said he won't recommend it on the G class and has heard a lot of people saying the bolts come loose and fly off while driving!!! So now I have all the parts and I don't know what to do...maybe the guy sold me wrong bolts or this happens...any advice pls

too funny - I have the opposite problem I believe! I fitted my 30mm HRs and I think my bolts are too long! Wobble for me! Never was able to use them - just put on 35" now I am in desperate need for a solution... Maybe we should trade our bolts and we both are happy!

I went with the 1.25" BORA spacers and they look great. Came with all the bolts and everything and installed easily. See pics.

Been using 30mm spacers on my G55s for a good part of 10 years with zero issues. No wobble at any speed.

Vlad at fourbyfourclub.com sells a spacer kit that comes with the bolts you need to bolt the spacers to the hub. Then you need to buy wheel bolts that have a thread length of 40mm as pictured below. The length of the head of the bolt isn't as important but the threaded length is. I believe ECS tuning sells the H&R kits with bolts and also sells bolts separately



I am running 30mm spacers on both my 2003 G55 (more than 10 years with spacers) and on my 2008 G55 (almost a year with the 30mm spacers) with no issues.

You also need to make sure your torque specs are correct. I am using the following specs: Bolts from Spacers to Hubs are 105 ftlb. Wheel bolts to spacers are 97ftlb. You also need to re torque after the first few hundred miles to be sure.

Top pic is my 2008 before I put the spacers
Bottom pic is my 2003 with spacers



Pic below is the 2008 with 30mm spacers and new rims and grill
