Default HELP!! Ever fitted 15" gti rims to a series2?????

As above ive just got some escort Gti rims 15" so i can keep me diamond cuts in the garage over winter Trouble is my normal wheel nuts/bolts dont fit the wheel very well and are going to chew through the stud holes on the wheels as the collar is not big enough,

does anybody know what wheel nuts will fit properly as im strugglin at the moment

Thanks

i find that bit strange coz the diamond cut bolts and colars should fit the gti wheel 100% as theyre all the same as far as im aware. i had 16inch mondeo rims on mine and then just got some diamond cuts and the nuts and collars are fine

ooooooooooohhhhh, appologies mate lol, ithought u meant they were the 17inch diamond cut rs rims lol.

in that case, in order to fit gti rims, u will need to go to a wheel place and buy some new bolts that have the correct taper on them. if u take a gti rim with ya, they can find the perfect fitting ones
