View Full Version : 10mm to 12mm spacers, Do I need longer bolts?

I'm switching out my 10mm spacers to a 12mm. My current bolts are 35mm which is the right length for the 10mm spacer. Is it safe to use the same bolt? Or should I get a 38mm bolt (next available length)?

In a word, yes.

FWIW I thought stock length was 27mm so the 35 was even a little short for the 10mm spacer.

Go to Black Forest Industries (BFI) website - they do an excellent job of explaining the lengths needed for each size spacer.

You're right. 27 is the OEM length. I was looking at the wrong bolts when I typed this . Thanks for the responses.
