Alloy wheel experts...

Fitted some 17" alloys to my Audi, used the original bolts (was fitted with alloys anyway from factory). In the factory alloys they screwed in about 25mm, in the aftermarket alloys its only about 15mm. Does it matter? do i need longer bolts? are they going to rob me!?

Think the rule of thumb is 5 full turns before locking up.

If they do this they "should" be fine, if your not conifdent in them grab ya self some longer bolts !
