Hi guys,

hopefully someone can help me with this one! The problem is I'm using the original 15" alloy wheel bolts to hold my RS7's on (17")
Now the nuts seem to be slightly smaller than the holes in the wheels - but they screw into the hub fine!

I think these wheels were meant for studded vehicles - correct me if I'm wrong...

How do I get round this, as really, there isn't much holding the wheel on - if you get what I mean!

I know this is a long post, but I just wanted to know if anyone has come across the same problem, and how I go about getting the correct bolts???

you can either do a stud and nut conversion or get new bolts with the correct seating. both are available from speedshack or demon tweeks

 

addiction - your a diamond!!!!

Thanks for that, when I call Demon Tweeks, shall I just say what the problem is and tell them what wheels etc and they'll sort me out...



Appreciate the help!

 

yes mate,just explain what you want to do and they will know what you need. i used speedshack, they were very helpfull and a bit cheaper than demon tweeks too

 

Do you have 60 degree tapered wheel bolts ?

Measure the length of one of your own and just get some longer ones

 

I think he means the tapered bit on the bolt isn't meaty enough to fill the taper in the wheels

 

Bin the wheels then

 

bin the wheels isn't gona help!!!

They're Ford alloys, I've taken them off today and I think I'm going to need stud and bolts for them!!!

How they never came off when I've been driving it, I'll never know!
