No I'm pretty sure there 14 x 1.5 thread.

And unless you already have a set of tapered bolts you'd need new ones as OEM are radius head.

I'd also be very surprised if you got 6 full turns using a 10mm spacer with standard length bolts :)

yes i've got to get new tapered bolts. The original studs had about 20mm of thread available once on the original wheel to screw in. With the new wheels and 10mm spacers it has about 5mm of thread available to screw in. Ive got the rears on ok without spacers but don't like the way it sits and don't really want a narrower wheelbase at the rear so will use spacers on them too, just need to get 16x 12x1.5 40mm tapered studs and 4x locking wheel studs.

will need to check the 12mm or 14mm diamaeters
