but the possibility of overlong wheel bolts is s/t to consider - I think you can f'up your hubs if you take out a wide spacer and then just re-use them (but if you've been Pep-boy'ing this all along, my bet is they used the original bolts, so you are correcting a major safety issue by ditching the spacer).

No I had long bolts on with the spacers when I take off the spacers I'll be using the oem bolts

Can you post the complete specs of your wheels ? Including complete part number ?

It's a bmw jack kit my friend got with his x6m when he bought it

Wheels are
225 mpss
255 mpss
Vmr v710 18x8.5 et 35 18x9.5 et 45

There's a lot of people running this exact setup here not using spacers so I just want to take them off to get rid of the poke as long as it's safe

O.k. so lift each corner at a time. Use wheel chocks (rock, brick,).
It’s worth owning a torque wrench and tools: socket, wrenches, lug bolt locating pin https://www.reverselogic.us/phone/sh...=0&sort=normal

Be careful not to scratch wheel or brake caliper by taping up socket and end of alignment tool if you use one. And once front wheels are on and up in air spin front wheels to check clearance, rear wheels you won’t be able to spin.
