#1: wheel bolt confusion... Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Tue May 29, 2012 7:31 am ---- I REALLY want to fit my wheels now it's getting annoying, but I only have a set of steel tapered bolts and XL alloy tapered bolts.
Will i definitely die if I fit them with the steel bolts? because I read somewhere it's ok if they are tapered (which the wheels are obviously)
If not, my options are fitting spacers which I'm not 100% sure i want to do now i've test fitted them again as they already stick out, or buy some alloy bolts
#2: Re: wheel bolt confusion... Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue May 29, 2012 7:35 am ---- how long is the thread on the bolt?
you need at least 35mm thread on taper bolt on standard 25 offset
#3: Re: wheel bolt confusion... Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Tue May 29, 2012 7:37 am ---- the threat on the steel bolts is about 20mm
the thread on the alloy bolts is about 45mm
the wheels won't be standard offset but I guess the steels are too short and alloys too long so I might as well buy some shorter alloy ones?

well you need to know what offset are you running before you can decide what bolts you need.....
