E53 lug bolt diameter vs other Bimmers

Hi guys, I have a questiona bout the diameter of our lug bolts.
I'm looking at buying a set of FK spacers and the seller keeps telling me they will fit an X5, but I'm just wanting to make sure.
the ad is for: BMW 3-series E36 - 1992-1998, E46 - 1999-2005, E90, E91, E92, E93 2006+
5-series E34, 7-series E32, E38, 8-series, Z3, Z4, M Roadster, M coupe.


the spacers mount to the hub with supplied bolts in the kit and then the wheel mounts to the spacer using factory bolts (just ike H&R DRA's kit).

Now I'm curious since the ad doesnt promote the X5 or X6, I'm wondering if thats cause the lug bolt diameter and therefore hub bolt holes are LARGER than that of all non X model vehicles. Therefore their supplied bolts will not fit and then the factory X5 bolts will not fit into the wheel spacer bolt holes...

thoughts.

AFAIK, stock lug bolt length is 14x1.5x19mm thread, conical seat. Add however many mm to that for spacers and there you go

You may just have to specify to the seller you need proper lugs for an X5.

Ricky Bobby (said with a sweeet french accent), I think you just answered my question, by mistake.
I'm looking for the bolt diameter and not length, but you said it was a 14x1.5 and I believe alll other cars are just a 12x1.5, so yes the X5 bolt is fatter than the other BImmer models

Bingo X5s have special lug bolts. What size spacers are you looking for? I have our ECS Spacers from 2mm to 20mm and H&R Spacers from 3mm to 30mm available HERE on our site.

ECS, I'm looking for something between 20-30mm. I found some 25mm H&R DRA's on your site. what the difference between

Brand:
ES#:1928175
Mfg#: 50757254

and


Brand:
ES#:11985
Mfg#: 50757252

Both are same price but one is available Feb 6th and one on Feb 27th.

That's a glitch on our site, if you want the 25mm ones order the ones found HERE. I'm having one of my parts guys clean everything in our spacer section for the E53s up as we speak.

Thanx ECS.
I'll order those soon.
I didn't mean to turn this into a sales pitch haha but thanks for your help!!! And I'm kinda surprised to see your prices and shipping to Canada are about the same price as e-bay sellers.
Many thanks.
