Title: Help Please
Post by: JayNesbitt on 05 July 2012, 19:00
Having bought my pcd adapters to fit Porsche wheels, I have realised now,

I dont have the necessary studs...

The adapter bolts to the hub,m14 bolts (supplied)
However, I don't have the studs to bolt the wheels to the adapter...m12x??

The original supplier of my adapter (R-Tec) can supply them for £30,is this reasonable?

The local haldfrauds was no help at all.

Any help is welcome

If so then yes I guess £30 is reasonable for 20 bolts...Just over a quid each  :nerd:

I was under the impression the adapters required stud instead of bolts?

I'll upload a picture in 5 mins

Porsche bolts are m14x1.5 way to big...

Nipped to a local Audi specialists,they had a bolt that gripped 4 threads but no further :-/

Well you need to confirm what taper they need to be as a start, I am guessing radius so mabe look at mk3 Golf 4stud bolts.

Porsche wheels are normally held on with Alloy nuts, aren't they?

Worth a try,luckily a day off work tomorrow so plenty time to look around

Also the option of having studs made locally.

I am determined to get the wheels on!!

Just to clear one point up you need to confirm 100% what taper seat the bolts / nuts need to be or you run the risk of the wheels coming loose.

Mk2/3 etc, 4x100 bolts fit perfectly.

The garage I found father/son VW lovers,both ran the same set up faultlessly for years.

I've bolts the adapter onto the wheel and it all felt solid...there's no movement at all.

I suppose time will tell,I am more than confident its sorted
