Just bought , yes bought not brought some 17" rs7 spoke wheels for my s2 rst, when i fitted them i noticed there is not much of the wheel bolt collar seating on the actual wheel, and also the locking bolts i bought from ford are even worse, i didn't tighten these up incase they pulled through. Is there anyway round this, maybe different/bigger bolts with the same thread.

thanks, lee.

 

did you cut up the nuts to use the collets over your original bolts?

 

i had to get some different bolts with larger collars, found them in my local carnosseur. did the trick

 

no need for different bolts simply remove collets from the nuts you get with the wheels and put them over your exsisting bolts job done if you need any more help mate feel free to pm me

 

The proper ones to use are available from speed shack you can find them in the back of performance ford etc i got mine from there they are slightly longer and with the correct collar theyre about Ł 1.50 each

 

thanks for the help. just been on to speed shack and he thinks he knows the ones i'm after. he's gonna send me one out to try, very helpfull.

i can use use the collars off the original nuts for now so thanks again.

Lee.

 

their is no point in wating money on another set of bolts trust me use the roiginal ones, works for me and alot of others too

 

sufsRS, what ride height is your car at with those wheels, mines -35mm and when i lowered the back down it sat on the tyre so got to raise it.

thanks, lee.
