as above
where did you get your bolts from to hold the wheels on as ive been told the normal ones wont work
cheers

 

You should get them with the wheels if u brought new?

Ford still sale the bolts

 

When I fitted mine the normal bolts worked fine, its just that you will also need collets to go with them, my RS7's where from Fordparts UK who supplied the collets with the wheels. If your struggling then give them a try.

you should get nuts with the alloys if so cut the collets off just done mine i found it easy to just file the edge down and the collet should drop off, i think you need some new bolts to compensate for the length of the collet is that right???

 

did you need to do any arch work to get these wheels on??

 

i ground down all 4 arches and still caught so just done some more

 

so the collets on the nuts they supplied will do?
where will i get longer bolts from then?
do ford do them

 

I'm currently running diamond cut 7 spokes on my Series 2 with no clearance problems due to using standard ride height springs. I bought these wheels new from my local Ford dealership some time last year and they did'nt come supplied with bolts long enough ! The bolts, as mentioned in the post above, need to be longer to compensate for the collet. I was able to purchase these from my local wheel refurbisher. They are a company called SEM and they are located in Sunderland, Tyne & Wear. You can contact them on 0191 548 0617.
Hope this helps,

I run these wheels, have done for about a year almost? As said, I cut the collects off with the grinder and I used the original bolts no problem.

I plan to eventually change to a stud and nut conversion anyway

 

cheers for replys
i remember someone sayin that the normal bolts will work but it needs to screw in a certain percentage of the bolts length or you risk the wheel fallin off
coz of no search button i cant find it

 

Like I said, not had a prob myself in a year, wheels will probably fall off now I say that

 

the collets are definitely the right ones as they are made for rs 7 spokes so cut them off, the length of the bolts is my problem i got some new bolts from "3drstretch" pm him im sure hell sort you out, but if adam has used the original bolts from the standard alloys? then that should do

 

As per your pm, yes I have, as have many others I know of

 

nice one

 

So much easier and safer too!!!!

I love my conversion

 

Stud and nut is a good option, saves having to hold the wheel upto the hub and 'try' get a bolt into the hole whereas with the stud n nut conv you can simply hook it on

 

Why u think I got it - aprat from Performance reasons obviously

 

Yea, no doubt.... James, did Christian do yours? Not sure whats involved really, I know you have to get the studs put in some how? Does he fit the kits as well as supply?

 

I think they can supply and fit the kits

Mine was done at A1 Rallysport in sandy, Beds when I had shit loads of stuff done there
