Another point - do the new wheel have the correct centre bore or have correctly sized spigot rings fitted? Otherwise noise could be the wheel shifting radially as the axle rotates and this would be a dangerous situation.



Again, thank you, I will check this... the tyre fitter fitting would surely spot this. These wheels were recommended by the alloy wheel shop I bought them.

Tonight I hope to report back better news.

Ive had 4 sets of Veemann wheels & all have been the correct centre bore & fitted straight on with original Bmw wheelbolts
Are you 100& sure the fronts are not Et 35 ?

Going to check when I get home, my order from the shop I Bought the wheels from was ET35 front and ET42 rear. Cheers Mr Wilks.

Is it staggered wheels and they have put a front on the rear?

I wish... even more stupid... tyre fitter put long bolts back in even though spacers removed. Long story short it has made a mess of the disc baking plates that sit behind the discs (obvs). Car on its way on a low loader to local specialist I trust. The tyre fitters are denying any knowledge... of course. I could fight it but I just don't have the time and energy.

Did you provide them with the shorter bolts knowing you were using spacers anymore?

I did indeed.
 
Sorry to hear but in my experience the average tyre fitter has an iq smaller than their shoe size. I know there are exceptions and I have found a couple I trust implicitly but they are few and far between. Worse still, many just don't give a toss, it's not their car :x

Well it’s happened, it’s annoying but it’s one of life’s little tests. So chuffed with how the wheels look! Just need to get it back from the garage now lol.

Thanks all for input, very kind.
