Wheel bolts.

[CraigW]

Are the wheel bolts used for standard fit alloy wheels i.e Ronals, 26mm thread length??

Found these on ebay and I need 12 for my Oz Super T's. I know I need the radius head bolts. Also what radius is the seat on the bolt.

Thanks.

proving its a stud diameter of 100 i think its all the same

26 or 26.5mm thread length if I remember right!

Thats what I thought but Ive looked at vagcat at both mk2 steel and alloy wheel bolts and the bolts for mk3 alloys and it says the thread is 23.5mm long. But I think I may go for 26mm as the bolts will be slightly longer.

Thats if I can get away with them.

On my superleggera i used my standard wheel bolts without any problems.
The ronals on the 1.4 are held on with those same bolts (standards with the steels), and the mk3's were too when they were on the 1.4.

Perhaps I was mistaken!

So was I, I was pretty certain that it was closer to a 26mm thread on the bolts.

Need a quick answer as I can get the Oz's on today if I get an answer. Will standard steel wheel bolts be alright to use?? As they have a radius seat on them.

ETOS says its M14x1.5x27mm

Ive got the box my aftermarket bolts came in and it says M12 x 1.5.

Vag cat says the same for both Mk2 and Mk3 wheels.

No worries mate. Now I just need to find out if the standard steel wheel bolts will be ok to use.

 

[Damoegan]

ETOS says the same size bolts for alloy and steel wheels.

 

[CraigW]

Also will I need spigot rings on the Oz's with them being a standard Seat wheel??

 

[CraigW]

bump!

 

[crezz]

nope, i wouldnt off thought so, i couldnt say for deff as i never fitted mine

 

[ibiza_streg]

I always thought you needed different bolts than the standard steelies bolts, something about the type of metal which can corrode or chew up the alloy wheel? Could possibly have been the tyre place skanking me when I had my wheels fitted there...

 

[CraigW]

Dont need the spigot rings, the spigot on the wheel is the right size.

Aint sure about that, the only bit of the bolt that touches the wheel is the seat. I had a test fit of the wheels today using the bolts from my steel wheels with the radius seat and everything seemed ok. The wheel was secure and dont think it was going anywhere.

 

[crezz]

steel wheels? didnt you have alloys ?

 

[CraigW]

Yep, steel wheels. When I first bought the car it came with a set of steel wheels.

Just need some confirmation from someone who is in the know about using the bolts from the steel wheels.
