Title: Standard alloy nuts
Post by: Mark b on 11 March 2013, 18:14
Does anyone know what are the standard measurements are on wheel nuts length ect basically I went to get new alloys fitted today but my wheel nuts are not long enough so I need to buy new ones but don't know what are the right ones to get

The nuts I've got at the mo are black if that helps replacing the wheels on my sig pic

Aftermarket alloys will need a different taper, standard bolts will be radius seat and are no good for the new alloys.

What alloys are you fitting, longer bolts should not be needed

Never heard of them but your using the wrong bolts.

You need these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-M14X1-5-TAPERED-ALLOY-WHEEL-BOLTS-FIT-VOLKSWAGEN-GOLF-MK5-/200767923589?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyre_Trims_Trims_ET&hash=item2ebeb36585

Or maybe the same fit but a little longer.

The standard bolts are no good for aftermarket alloys, different taper needed, the ones I posted a link to should do the job all ok.

Having never heard of the alloys in question it is kind of hard to sort, however 99% of aftermarket alloys use square taper bolts, at the moment they are fitted using standard bolts which will not be helping.
