Wheel bolt query

[jenk]

Sorry to be asking such a simple question but...... Any ideas what the thread length is on the standard wheel bolts? Forgot to measure one this morning before I left for work

Looking to purchase some 26mm long m12x1.5 jobbies.

Cheers

yea its deffinitely M12 x 1.5

Sorry mate its the thread length im after, dont want the bolts going to far into the hub or not enough. Im sure 20 odd mm is correct.

 

[ibiza_95]

ooops... just measured some of mine and they look like 25mm

Sound! You using taper'd seat bolts?

 

[ibiza_95]

thats a standard bolt is that, as i had to use standard bolts for the mk3 cupra wheels and ive got a few lying around from replacing a few with locking bolts, and yea it has a taper on the seat

Cheers bud. Thought you had changed to mk3 wheels, your sig threw me off. Standard bolts are conical seated but I need taper for my pro race 2's

Luke,

The standard bolts are M12x1.5 and are ~25mm long, with a radius seat. All OE wheels use a radius seat.

Aftermarket wheels use a tapered seat

try www.rallydesign.co.uk for the bolts

£20 delivered for 20 bolts. Was going to get them from Rally design but you can argue with a quid a Bolt.
