To All Iforged Owners!

e90fanatic · 05-22-2007, 11:10 AM

Im getting frustrated but anyways can somebody please let me know the exact dimensions of the lug bolts that I need to purchase for the wheels? 12x1.5 was given by ModCity but he never gave me the length of the bolt nor the seating type (e.g. cone type). Can somebody please confirm it?

montreal_bimmer · 05-22-2007, 12:48 PM

im waiting on a set of iForged wheels too, i purchase some new lugs and 2 sets of lock bolts for my new wheels......

do OEM bolts fit in iforged wheels???

e90fanatic · 05-22-2007, 01:01 PM

where did u order the lugs from? u need 2 sets of lock bolts? don't you just need 1 lock on each wheel?

yes...putting it simple and short!

wj4 · 05-22-2007, 01:50 PM

I'm using the OEM bolts for the front. I'm running spacers in the rear so I need to use longer ones obviously.

montreal_bimmer · 05-22-2007, 02:56 PM

ok you guys say yes, i just spoke to dan, and he says the OEM DOES NOT fit iforged wheels.....

we need some people with experience to chime in here.

aw_330i · 05-22-2007, 03:06 PM

iforged directly told me that stock wheel bolts work and that's what i've been using for almost 2 summers now

My stock bolts fit fine. Unless you have spacers there should be no reason that stock bolts would not fit.

ironic · 05-22-2007, 07:17 PM

oem lug nuts will work fine

sterns · 05-22-2007, 07:31 PM

who sells the longer bolts needed with spacers ? And the longer locks as well ?

e90fanatic · 05-22-2007, 08:08 PM

thanks guys....Dan confused me as well. But it's great news that stock bolts fit!! I was getting so frustrated cuz iforged kept directing me into a voicemail and Dan is out of town. Iforged should have included both the stems and the bolts since they don't cost a lot and they'd save a lot of time for us buyers.

Yes that question is also for a 335I coupe sport package?

I had to use a strap kit for TPMS with shorter stem as well. It seems as though the hole in the barrel is in a rather unfortunate spot. I don't believe they took into account the size of the rotors or calipers when designing these wheels. Have fun trying to have them change their design!

Hi I ordered the TPMS sensors from Tirerack. Will they work? By the way what is a strap kit? Thanks.

soma4u · 05-23-2007, 07:51 AM

the oem sensors work fine!!! No need to buy new ones. Instead of attaching the TPMS to the air stem, it is attached via strap kit (strapped around the inner rim). This enables the installer to use a shorter rubber stem and angle it towards the outside of the car. Without using a strap kit, the stem is too long and hits the caliper. This might not be the case on all Iforged, but for mine (19" Daytona's) on an e92, strap kit is a must!

Awesome! Thanks for the info. Well I ordered the Seneka's so I will let everyone know when I get them installed. Thanks for the info

I did have to use shorter valve stems. I ended up just not using the TPMS sensors. After a couple of days the yellow light on the dash stopped bothering me. I always have the DTC or DSC light on anyways.......
