Default Wheel bolts
tomorrow I am going to buy rs turbo wheels for my standard escort mk4. Would I need different wheel bolts, example longer, or can I use the standard ones? would they be safe??

thankx guys

if you have steelies on at the moment then you will need to get other wheel bolts for alloys.

Would I need some spacers, or they will fit the arches nicely once lowered?

The wheel sellers should know, there are two sizes of "alloy" type bolt, small seat and large seat.
