Took car in for calipers and rotors to BMW. Well, I was pissed when they said they found Spacers in my TRUNK that were bent and told me I had long lugs in the front which were dangerous for my car. They tried to sucker me into buying new lugs from them for $272!!!!! They are all thieves! I was in a rush and was so pissed that I had to leave.
I now am concerned about the replacement. I will buy the new front Spacers- H&R 2075725 10mm. I just need to know if they switched my lugs. They say 10.9 on them, but I can't tell if they are "stock size" for my 124 OEM wheels or are the longer ones I got with my Spacers 5 years ago.
Can anyone tell me if the lugs I have on that say 10.9 are the correct size for the 10mm Spacers? Many thanks!

If you're buying a new set, doesn't it come with lug nuts too?
$272 for a set of lug nuts is just...
EDIT: I did a little search, and this is what I found
12mm x 1.5, 36.5mm Shank, Cone Seat, 17mm Hex

The OEM wheel bolt has a thread length of 25mm.Therefore,for 10mm spacers you need a thread length of 35mm.

you keep saying nuts?, factory is bolts....are your hubs studded? if not, order the spacers with the lug bolts....i know on my 5mm spacers extended bolts are not needed, it appears that do to the stock hub lip 10mm spacers are not the best, a better fit would be a 12mm that way it rests on the factory hub lip and your wheel rests on the spacer lip....$270 for a set of lug bolts is ridiculous, cant believe they told you that with a straight face....
