wheel bolts length !? :(

[Emjay]

I may have some spare bolts you can have. I got loads with my new wheels. I'll ship them out with the cam if you want to try them, there not much use to me.

Probably a better/easier method Micky... Saves having to clean up the threads afterwards...

ISTR standard are 35mm, 40mm are available too.... (don't quote me on that though).

If your car has drums on the rear be carefull with the lenth of bolt you use i have had it before were i've fitted longer bolts only to find they were alittle to long and were catching on the brake shoes.
if you have discs all round then it's no prob

Good point....

Had that with my old GT... Had the longer bolts machined down a bit...

You should have at least 6 - 7 full turns on a bolt. I had these issues with my Ronal when i fitted the spacers. Demon Tweeks helped out and sold me 16 of their longest. Give them a call ( infact pop in as it's only down the road from you ).

how much did that set you back?

If the bolts from Emjay don't fit I might indeed pop to demon tweeks. thanks

emjays bolts were too thin.

quick question, what size thread does my car use?

also, whats should be the correct bolt width?

cheers.

M14 x 1.5 is what you need.

You'll need tapered seats for aftermarket wheels
