Hub Replacement

Hey everybody. In advance thanks for your help.

Local mechanics have ordered a replacement hub for the rear of my 2008 r52 and the lug nuts are a different size?!

I've called a couple of places and they say it's wrong so then I returned the parts and bought new ones from another place. Guess what, same problem. It seems that the replacement part via vin number comes up as a part for a r50. So this has now happened on two separate occasions from different parts stores. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

All parts that I have received are oem BMW made parts.

Have you tried looking up the parts on RealOEM to confirm the part number?
