Tapered for Steelies, Radius for most alloys.

Not quite right there fella,all oem wheels(alloys and steelies) use Radius bolts,aftermarket wheels use tapered bolts :wink:

can i buy longer sercurity bolts? this is all doing my head in now wish it was simple
yes you can buy longer locking bolts if your alloys are oem not aftermarket or reps then grayston do a 60mm length set pt number LB163 i have a set of these and cut two front and two rears down to the size required for me running spacers  :wink:
you got a website link m8?

also how big a spacer can i use with them?
i run 20mm rear spacers
have a look here http://www.graystonengineering.com/wheelnutmenu.htm

also if your on aftermarket alloys you will need LB162 :wink:

I bought a set of 4 20mm hubcentric spacers. i think 20mm is too wide for front wheels.
i am looking for a set of 10mm hubcentric for the front wheels, could do with an exchange?
anyone interested? :wink:

I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

right i have these ordered in 22mm makes 11mm each side i have ordered as well longer serurity bolts what i now need to know is

1) i will need 8 more longer normal bolts now for the front can i get longer ones from vw and if so what car are they off or part number

2) does anyone know the normal lenght of the wheel bolts saves me having to take one off again forfot to measure  :laugh:

3) is it fine and ok to cut wheel bolts down to size will it not affect the thread?
