Can you actually get them?

The story: I got some new wheels for mk mk2, borbet A's in 17"s to replace my scabby wolfrace things. Only problem is the new wheels rub so i need some some spacers to stop this but the bolts already seem to be at the limit of their length.

The question: Can you get extra long bolts so that 5-10mm spacers can be fitted? If so where from?

Dont think i need hubcentric though because they only rub a bit

You can defo get them.

Just find out how long standard are, add the spacer length, and do a search for xmm wheel bolts

Pretty sure standard are ok up to 5mm. Any more than that and you want bigger bolts. if it's only scrubbing then 5mm should do it.

[car_maniac]

I wouldn't really feel safe with 5mm spacers and the bolts i have already. They already seem as though there's only10mm thread in use at the very max.

Is the thread and diameter on all wheel bolts the same, just a universal fit but just different lengths and head size? Genuine Q cos i dont know for sure.

If so would make good sense googling/ebaying Xmm bolts like you say

Standard mk2 wheel bolts are:

m12 x 1.5
23mm thread length

So something like this

depending on the collar type you need for those wheels.
