Default * RS7 Wheel problem * (Also in Escort turbo room)

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???

Rgds
John

you can get bolts with the bigger washer which will stop them being pulled through the wheel(WHICH WILL HAPPEN IF YOU DRIVE WITH THE ONES YOU GOT)
