Wheel Bolts - alloys / steelies.

[JC]

Following the successful removal of 3 out of the 4 ( gator grip socket then exploded, new one on order, car didnt come with the correct key  )  locking wheel bolts I need to replace them.

Are wheel bolts the same for steel wheels as they are for Alloys, namely BBS RA's ? ? ? ? ? ?

Thanks in advance

yeah same bolts that fit say 14'' or 15'' steelies on a mk2 will fit bbs ra's

I think that some RA's need longer bolts. I may be wrong though....

had all 12 remaining bolts out of the valver tonight, cleaned them all up etc.

same length as the ones on the driver , same markings etc so looks like they will be fine

std VW aloy wheels use the same bolts as the steelies.  however earlier VWs had shorter wheel bolts
If the thread on your boltss are 23.5mm long then they are the correct type for the bbs ras.
