I need longer bolts to use with spacers. However none on the market are anti-theft design, like BMW can sell you with one of the hundreds screw designs available with its own factory code.

How do you install spacers with long bolts and keep your OEM anti-theft bolts too?

Are there some "doublesided" spacers for 10 bolts?

Don't quite understand what you mean by "doublesided" spacers for 10 bolts but I do carry the RAD locks that can be used with spacers.

$40-50 for a set of 4 depending on how thick of a spacer you're going with.



RAD processes only top-grade steel from certified German steelworks. All wheel fasteners are hardened and tempered to strength class 10.9 or 10 according to DIN/ISO standard 898. They meet the statutory requirements of all countries - including the USA. The fasteners, the detailed fitting instructions and the code key are supplied in a strong plastic box. After the wheel locks have been fitted, the bolts or nuts which have been removed are stored in the box in order to be immediately accessible if needed (for spare wheel)

Each code key has its own plastic code card. If you should lose the code key, report this number to RAD by phone or fax, and a replacement key will be sent to you the same day. At RAD, every computer-controlled machine is manned by operators who constantly check the quality of the products so that only goods of top quality reach the customer. All RAD bolts feature Dacromet coating, a specification required by Mercedes Benz.

I just bought a set of Mcgard locks that work with my 20mm spacers for $23 from amazon. Got them the next day since I have amazon prime.
