    I know many on here have ordered bolts from ECS Tuning. However, when I called today, they said the shortest they carry in chrome is 60mm. That is 60mm BELOW the head. But stock 355 bolts are 52mm. Will the 60mms be too long for my 355 rims?

    I have not spacers, etc. Totally stock set-up. Thanks everyone!

    The OEM 360 bolt is from what I have been told 52mm total length with 20mm of thread length.

    So, I guess with a 60mm bolt it would be important to know how much exposed thread there is.

    My present wheel bolts have 28mm of exposed thread, and there is plenty of room behind the wheel flange for them.

    I need a bolt that has 45 mm of exposed thread for 15 mm spacers, and I can't find them! The head of my bolt is 17 mm width!

    So, you might be ok with a 60mm bolt. Push one though the wheel and measure the amount of exposed thread, subtract for the thickness of the wheel flange, and then you'll know how much will protrude beyond the wheel flange.

    You can measure the available space behind the flange and you'll know quickly if the 60mm bolt will work.
