Hi just had the scariest moment of my life :sad:
noticed a vibration thought it was strange as car had been running fine day before, went to pic dad up from local train station and it got loud so stopped car.
had a look and he noticed back wheel was wobbling :shocked: then on closer inspection 3 bolts have dissappeared?
now i know 100% the bolts had been tightened up when i put wheels on so dont know whether someone has tried to steal my wheels then ran out of time/ given up or they had just worked loose.
So question is i have 20mm spacers on rear with these wheels below, what bolts do i need? The bolts came with the spacers so dont even know if they were right ones to start with?
Thanks guys feel a bit shaken up as anything could have happened :lipsrsealed: (times like this when i feel like someone is watching me up there) :smiley:

With them being aftermarket wheels I would have thought they will be taper bolts
Have a look where the bolts contact the wheels and feel with your finger if its straight or slightly curved
*Edit* And the link to the cases it shows you down the bottom they come with bolts which are taper bolts.
-
Don't know if they are cades that's the thing. Think they are vmr as he rang them up and apparently they do make the wheels in 5x100 of you phone up or something lol
Are tapered different to normal bolts?

Standard bolts are Radius, most aftermarket are tapered.
-
Ok brill cheers mate. Will have to get some tomo :(
-
get some what?
-
when you search google for VMR 5 x 100 you get this thread, which is a few years old
http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/304330-VMR-Wheels-Audi-TT-w-V710-Sneak-Peek!
And VMR say they don't make 5x100 only 5x112 and 5x120 and no site which sells the VMR's sell 5x100.
So am pretty positive they are Cades and are taper bolts
-
Just text Nadlad and he said he used tapered bolts so that sorts that. Just need to get some long enough to fit on 20mm spacers.
-
standard are 27mm thread length i think, i'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong so 50mm at least i would have thought
-
yeah 27mm standard, if they are 20mm bolt through spacers 50mm will do. if they are bolt on spacers buy you may need you cut them down if they are too long
-
Easy to source on ebay but 100% taper bolts needed, they may not be Cades btw loads of reps available
-
Wheels bolts straight thru. Popping down to halfords later bud can't see then having ones thst long? Don't kno where else to try where I can get them straight away

This to me looks like it has been overtightened :undecided: maybe the spacers are causing issues
-
40mm bolts, they the ones which go through the 20mm spacers? Did you torque them up?
-

yes theyre the ones which go thru, dont have a torque wrench so just done them tight?
Been to about 3-5 different wheels places and non have any bolts that size :sad:
got myself a torque wrench and copper grease on the plus side lol :grin:
question is now:
what size would normal bolts be as i may take of spacers off for the time being until i can source some longer bolts.
Thanks
edit:
had the same bolts on montys and 4motion alloys (winter wheels) and no problems?
-
are they long enough mate i got 41mm long bolts with 15mm spacers they came with the spacers as a set so 40mm with 20mm spacer just dont seem right to me :undecided: just read rest of post lol :laugh:
-
(http://i1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd384/gtijon/642c2bd0.jpg)
this is how much us going into the wheel hub? is that enough.
just found this site which has differnet sizes http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/search_result/keywords/wheel+bolts/desc/1/x/0/y/0/pg/1.html
so i need M14 x 1.5 x ??
just using the bolts that came with the spacers so thought they would have been ok :grin:
Thanks
-
well standard are 27-28mm just add on 20mm =47-48mm should be ok then mate i know how you feel cos my front ones come loose not to long ago is quite scary mate wasnt my fault though the garage didnt do them up properly :shocked:

the 27-28mm is that the thread length? or bolt length?
sorry being dumb here :embarassed:
-
will these bolts work, from same place as i got spacers but slightly longer bolts http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-AUDI-EXTENDED-BIMECC-ALLOY-WHEEL-BOLTS-50MM-SET-10-/300578255082?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyres_Trim_Nuts_ET&hash=item45fbdc30ea#ht_3018wt_1270

-

should really have 50mm bolts with 20mm spacers. standard bolts are 27mm + 20mm
-
Whoops didn't read all the posts
That ebay link is the correct bolts but you will need to buy a locking set as well which unfortunately only come in 4's :sad:
