Pulled the fronts off my 1991 850 and found 9 Lug Bolt of three different lengths. The Shortest of the three have about six threads of engagement. They are all going into the recycling bin.
Standard BMW E31 rims, no spacers
What is the standard size? Pelicanparts lists M12 x 1.5 in the following lengths 22, 24, 28, 29, 30, 35, 38, 43, etc etc
I cant figure out how to post a picture

Stock wheel bolts are 26mm conical seat (LINK).

Thanks I am going to measure what I have (double check) and order some tonight
Rule of thumb: the thread “engagement” of the bolt should be as deep as the width of the bolt itself, i.e., if the bolt is 12mm in diameter, you want at least 12mm into the hub.

Be careful with “longer” bolts as they will interfere with the emergency brake components in the rear hubs.
