E21 323i LUG BOLT question

[carmel]

I have a set of 15' Alpina wheels that will be going on the E21.
I am trying to locate some new Lug bolts but do not know the
exact size to purchase.

Does anyone know the correct size? especially the Length, 23mm or 27mm ?
12 MM X 1.5
23 MM SHANK LENGTH or 27MM LENGTH ?


Thank you in advance,

[--ALPINA--]

Do you mean wheel nuts that hold the wheel in the hub? also where are you?

Hello Alpina,

They are called Lug Bolts and yes the Hold the wheel in the Hub.
Here is the Link to Real OEM, please look at #3. I need to know the correct
length of the Lug Bolt.

M12x1.5 should suffice, where are you? what country? i may be able to help you!! you need chrome wheel nuts not the black rim nuts allthough they fit but wont look nice!

ALPINA-

Located in USA

I was able to figure out the correct 12 x 1.5 but not sure on the correct Length, 23 or 27mm,
Someone just told me 28mm should be the correct size

and yes, need the chrome Lug bolts, just like what ALPINA used.
