Gents of the SF Bay Area,
I've been putting on a set of wheels from Ronal. There type R28. The
problem is to fit the front with 245s I had to use a 5mm spacer. The lug
bolts from my track wheels are too long and the ones Ronal sent me are too
short. Ummm, while I can get them shipped from Ronal, it would be nice not
having to wait 5-7 shipping days I'm looking to find some here in the Bay
Area. I've tried Grand Auto, Kragen, Wheel Works, Big O and other local
parts supplies, to no avail. I'll try Dinan in the morning.

The question is, is their someone else here that may carry them that I
missed? Any ideas would be appreciated.

TIA,
RussC

Russ, I had the same problem when I put 255X40X17 x9 on the rear of my 540i. I had to use 10 mm spacers and 37.9 mm long bolts. I ordered them from H&R in Nevada. See url below: got them overnight. Good luck, sounds like a nice new pair of new shoes! Couldn't find anyone local either. I'm in the same area as you.
