Wheel Bolts?
-> 206 Problems

#1: Wheel Bolts? Author: jaypug206, Location: London PostPosted: Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:47 am

Hi,

I had originally had 175/65/14 steel wheels I changed them for the alloys below which are the exact same size 175/65/14.

What I wanted to know is I used the same bolts from the steel wheels onto the alloys below, is that ok? Or would I need new ones?

Thanks for you help in advance Smile

I'm pretty sure you need to change them for alloy wheel bolts

The size you gave is the tyre size, not the alloy fitment size

NO, you must not use steel wheel bolts with alloy wheels!

Go get the correct alloy wheel bolts before you loose a wheel from the car while driving!

There cheap enough new from any Peugeot / Citroen main dealer.

What MrBSI said, when i started driving i did this when i changed my alloys.My wheel came off bounced up and creased all my wing, and flattened my disc brakes LUCKILY no other drivers were around me.
