Theres 4 screw bolts, 3 are easy to get to but the forth's a bit of a ars ! you need a long shafted hex driver, i know i did it today LOL !

Tez

Just a quick one chaps.

If i use 10mm spacers what size bolts will i need ?????

or

If i use 5mm spacers will the original bolts be long enough ?????

The wheels i have are ET47 and ET36, i know the ET36 will be fine bit will the ET47 rub if fitted to the rear until i get spacers ?

Thanks

Tez

Can someone just confirm ? My Z3 when i boight it had one red light on the service indicator, i had her serviced and the service lights reset, since then when i turn the ignition only the green lights light up and not the yellow and red, i had the service done around 4000 miles ago and still all gre...
