Default RCA bolts

Hey CL quick question
I have 38mm RCA spacers for the front. I need to put my stock 16s back on to get ready for the snow. I need to remove the RCAs since the inner barrel rubs. My issue is that I threw the stock bolts away. Could I use the extended bolts that came with the RCAs?



*EDIT* I found the stock bolts!

Question: so you can't run stock wheels with RCA's?

You can run up to 30mm and still run the stock 16's. I was reading up on this today because my exact front 30mm RCA's just arrived and before I installed them I looked around on line and found this out. I'm rockin mine with my stock wheels/winter mode. At least they're easy to take off. OP.

Yes but you will need spacers for the wheels to clear the brakes.

Anyone the part number. I lost them as well and want to take the front sage RCA's off...bottom out to much. Anyone know the part number. So I need all four bolts (driver side and passenger side)

The bolt size as per PMHL is M12x1.25x39mm


Thanks
