Shortening wheel bolts - Help!!

[Guinness]

Same principle, my spacers dont line up with the holes behind, As adapters (which space as well) would, the bolts are still the right size though. spacers are the bolt on/bolt into type.

Iv fitted some bolt on/bolt into adapters before and they came with the right bolts as well. Guess it depends on the manufacturer. An hacksaw and 10mins of your time would sort the bolts out though, seems mental to have the car off the road for days over some slightly to long bolts and the sake of some simple measure/cutting.

Yes, bolts for both. Its exactly the same principle if the thread you are screwing into on the spacer/adapter isn't larger than that in the hub its going to stick out isnt it!

Thus new bolts for both, I did also check prior to ordering that they would work with the alloy wheels as well (ie the taper on the allow wheel bolts is different to what is used on the standard alloys. It didnt so I sent them details of what I required).. Simples

Cheers man although the adaptors only come the bolts to go from adaptors to the hub so not much I can do and everywhere Ive read others seem to have the same problem, guess you just got lucky that you dont have to mess around with this hassle!

Hi.

Standard wheel bolts are m14 x1.50 with 60 degree taper.

if you're having the same problem where shorter wheel bolts are needed due to bolt-on style spacers, look for a thread length of around 20 or 21mm (this depends on spacer width).

Quick search and I found them on e-bay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-M14-x-1...05&prg=10513&rk=1&rkt=6&sd=140741061574&rt=nc

Hope this is of some help.
