Title: Wheel bolts
Post by: janilic on 09 September 2010, 09:34: I've got my new wheels to go on my mk2 gti. I need to get 4 more wheel bolts. my mate gave me some mk3 ones but are too big. Do all mk2 golfs have the same size wheel bolts or did they sling different sizes on random models to make life easy?

your local scrappy/brakers should have some, take another bolt with you for a pattern

Thanks for the offer but it's a little far to travel.

Suddenly finding yourself with 3 wheels on your wagon is a really bad look. Been there, done that.
