Yep, exactly. I hunted all over the web for them too, couldn’t find them. Yes those adapters are the key... but I hesitate to say you can use the stock bolts, because the adapters add 2-3mm of spacing. The calculation for 14x1.25 bolts shows you should have at least 9 turns of engagement. Dunno if you’ll get that without longer bolts. I went ahead and ordered slightly longer bolts from ECS. I believe when I did a test fit I was indeed a turn or two short with OEM bolts.

Can you link me to the bolts you bought from ECS? Please. I appreciate your info and replies.

I went 33. Though now I’m not sure why I chose that over 30, as the stock are 28 I think. Oh well, more threads is good, as long as it doesn’t bottom out. 33 should be fine.

Thanks. I must have posted as soon as you did. I went with the 33mm as well. I chose that for a "just in case".

But yes, we all agree, add longer bolts when using these adapters =)

Went to have wheels installed today and the TPS sensors I ordered from ECS are too long. They hit the wheel (outer circle going around spokes; not the lip of the wheel), and they cannot air up the tire. Does ANYONE know where I can get short valve stem TPS sensors that will work with the F56 Mini?

If the OEM TPS sensors will work, I will just take them out of my stock wheels/tires and throw the new ones in them. But do you know for sure if the stock ones will will work, or are for sure shorter?
