Hi all,

After my RS6's got nicked from my garage I bought some MOMO S-Fives 17" x 7.5. Tried to put them on yesterday, the bolts don't seem long enough and the centre bore doesn't fit. Should it be ok with some longer bolts or would I need some spacers too since the centre bore doesn't marry up?

If so... where / what are best longer bolts to use?

PS, they are going on an 02 Toledo TDI.

longer bolts won't help if the centre bore won't line up.

I expect if the centre bore was correct the bolts would be long enough? [usually 6+ full turns is enough]

Maybe they just have the wrong spigot rings fitted?

They are pretty tight to be honest, just thought there may have been some tricks of the trade to get them out.... hmmmm....they seem pretty tight in tbh...

just got an email forgot about this LOL i drive a 2001 leon 1.4 on 18" ebay special rs6 reps.

as for lowering id go with coilovers dpm performance are just round the corner and have leon coilovers for £180

altho not sure if the toledo would have the same fitment come to think of it, but give you the option to slam it or give it a subtle drop.
