[W126 Coupe] need bolts for 25mm spacer

[Sam Sisic]

"The safety concern"??
Especially for someone who likes to run 135MPH+... HA!
I would trust Talbir on this one Franco... Invest in a proper spacer
like the H&R's Talbir mentioned. It's very cheap insurance.

The safety concern would be the shaft length of the bolt - if the shaft 
length is 70mm, and only 20mm of this is being tightened into the hub,
then 
you have 50mm f shaft protruding.

The longer the shaft, the greater the risk of it breaking under stress.
