Some additional digging, the ACER site states “G Series uses the special 2 piece bolts listed UNLESS you are using aftermarket wheels and the aftermarket wheel manufacturer designed the wheel to use the standard M14x1.25x28 bolt. Please note the flange on this G series version between the loose washer and the 17mm hex head has a 27mm diameter, which is the standard diameter for the OEM G Series bolt design which is BMW part 36136795153”

Now looking at my wheels (I have the 1000M from the dealer, new with car) and comparing the existing bolts/lugs against the ACER ones, there is a sizable difference in the washer size (dia.) because the dealer used the bolts from the F chassis, therefore it seems that (edit) I bought the wrong damn bolts.

Pictures attached for clarity
I caught that when I ordered mine. They didn't fit at all, correct?
