Wheel bolt help

[AlexGSi2000]

Just after abit of advice on which wheel bolts to purchase - probably a dumb noob question, but want to make sure its all correct.

I have bought a set of OZ Superleggera wheels & need to purchase new bolts for them.

I will be running 5mm spacers on the front & 15mm spacers on the rear - so will need longer bolts.

I know that you just add on the length of the spacer to the original thread length of the standard wheel bolt, but I don't have a clue what the standard length is - as the car came with after-market wheels and bolts that have been cut at some stage.

Im taking it they are M12 x 1.5 taper seated?

Many thanks!

Would I be right in thinking these would do the job:

Front (with 5mm spacers) M12 x1.5 30mm shaft length
Rear (with 15mm spacers) M12 x1.5 50mm shaft length

Thanks!

I had the same problem with mine when i bought it

Speak to Bill (Badger5) and tell him

He will be able to sort yu out with what you need

Im sure the standard bolt length for the standard cupra alloys is 25mm worth of thread on the bolt.

When i ordered my longer bolts i just got the longest ones and cut them until I was happy. Need to have something like 11 rotations to be fitted safely (i think)

hope that vauge info helps lol

Many thanks Kyle & Berg,

If the standard ones are 25mm, the front ones at 30mm with 5mm spacers should be just right.
I went ahead and ordered them the other day, im pretty sure that they will be fine.

I have another question though - I bought the longest set of locking wheel bolts I could - 30mm
Im hoping these will be sufficient for the rear wheels running 15mm spacers.

I measured a 30mm bolt that I have at the minute along with the 15mm spacer, I had about 12mm of thread left after the spacer and the wheel - hoping this should be sufficient as a locking bolt.
