Caution, the new rims might not have the same depth of the seat as the OEM rims. They may be shallower or deeper. Make sure the seat of the new bolt matches the rim as well. You cannot use a conical bolt on a ball rim and visa versa. I would place a bolt into the OEM rims and measure the bolt side exposed inside the rim and then put a bolt into the new rim with the spacer installed in the rim and make sure the same measurement is found with the rim and spacer together. Remember also, the torque is 81ft/lbs after you get the correct bolt length and seat. Good luck!
