You think I should be concerned with 40mm? I just ordered 12mm front and 15mm rear with 40mm bolts. I reached out to Dinan and they reconfirmed 40mm was what they recommended. I would find it hard pressed for them to recommend the wrong length bolt for their own product no? Had to have gone under some thorough testing before launching the product and recommending don't you think?
12mm and 15mm spacers are fine and correct with 40mm bolts on stock rims. Full circle to original post above :-) https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...php?p=27499512

OP went with 17mm spacers rather than 15mm. 17mm spacers require 45mm bolts with stock rims. Non-stock rims with any spacers (including none) require custom measurements and calcs to determine bolt length (and other attributes).
