Help Please
« 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

Outer holes are clearly m12 but insure if 1.25 or smaller :-/

Porsche wheels will need genuine bolts from memory.

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.
