New alloys.. do i need new bolts?

[roloking1806]

Apologies if this has already been covered, I'm just not typing in the correct thing to the search bar..

Just bought some OZ Superturismo 16" 4x100 (2nd hand) and I'm wondering whether I need to get new bolts for them.. (Guy down kwik fit speaks on the phone to me about needing the correct washers and all that?????...huh?????)

Soo..I'm just wondering if i need new bolts, if I do.. does anyone know where to get them from (product code would help)...

Thanks

(I'm bad with wheels )

there is different bolts to go with different bolt holes.

For the seat you'll need M12 bolts. Then the rim will need checking to see if you need tapered ones or not. This has the do with the shape of the bolt head which sits inside the rim.

This can be either rounded or cone shaped.

sorry for lack of technical names, I'm DUtch. Someone will be able to confirm proper english terms.

 

[Reuvers]

btw, this is a picture of the OEM bolts for the standard CUpra wheels.

You can see the head (bottom part) is round.

Some rims require the head to be cone shaped

not checking this properly will cause 'play' on the bolts during driving, eventually causing them to snap off inside the hub...

big problem

picture of the cone shaped bolt

hope this helps.

Reuvers you cant blame your lack of knowledge on being dutch anymore, your way past that now on here lol.

Just get tappered alloy wheels bolts, simples.

 

[Reuvers]

lol

still an arse lmao


btw, how come you say tapered? you know the OZ's use them?

 

[roloking1806]

ahh ok, well Ill have to go out and buy some in that case..

M12 tapered alloy wheel bolts...
Will check down halfords, and if they dont have what im looking for - Ill browse the web

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Thinks all alloy wheels need a tappered bolt, theres just diferent types for diferent wheels. The OZ will use the standard type tho thats readily available from everywhere

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Is there not an alloy wheel place near you cos you dont really wonna go to halfords lol

 

[roloking1806]

hmm there may be, but i dont want to look a total ''d*ck'' when/if i ask for the wrong thing...

going to halfords means I at least have a a better knowledge than the people that work there, so can reprimand them and such


::edit:: A link to the correct bolts would be nice and easy

 

[roloking1806]

Would these do?

M12 x 1.25

or should i get:
M12 x 1.5

or

longer ones which are 40mm??? (these may not be appropriate as i don't have spacers??)

im getting some super t's very shortly, but wouldnt i just use my standard cupra wheel bolts for them?

 

[roloking1806]

I think it depends if you have radius or tapered bolts.. if they're tapered you'll be alright (i think)..

 

[Reuvers]

I think it depends if you have radius or tapered bolts.. if they're tapered you'll be alright (i think)..

that is exactly what I have been saying.

look at the 2 pictures...the head is different. this depends on the rims. I cannot tell you if the hole in the rim where the bolt goes is either tapered or radius...this is why I said have a look at the rim.

If you use the wrong bolt you can clearly tell by the fact that it doesn't fit properly (when the wheel is off stick a bolt in it and its easy to tell)

ibiza bolt thread is M12 with a 1.5 pitch.

 

[roloking1806]

yes, i wanted to know the 'pitch' to get whatever it is... ta for info

 

[lm_gauci]

I bought oz super t's and used the same wheel nuts already on the car.

 

[roloking1806]

You have a nice little cupra, maybe they come with the correct bolts then
my 1.4 steamroller is not up to scratch bolt wise ..

 

[markmeus]

Hmm well I got some Super T's and used the standard bolts. Having said that they were SEAT Sport OZ's off a Cupra R

And my standard bolts look the same as the first picture that Reuvers posted.

 

[roloking1806]

hmm they're the standard ones.. well in that case, ill get my wheels, and try em out with the bolts i already have.... Very confusing stuff, alloys!
