Most places that sell alloys wheels sell different length wheel bolts as well.

i have tried a bit few places i need about 60mm threaded length ifound some locking wheel bolts that were right but I'm not spending 120 quid just on wheel bolts!

you mean it rubs on inside of the INNER ARCH? why not buy some proper spacers to get away from the arch, and should come with proper bolts anyway :-)

they were ebay jobs, yeah rubbin inside arch cant space em as they already potrude out the side of the arch. nice rado by the way

cheers :-D are your tyres too big? what size are they?

Sounds like yet another wrong set of wheels trying to be fitted.

Doesn't anybody on here ever buy the correct size and offset wheel?

Shitty horrid spacers, different wheel bolts, 4 to 5 stud adapters.... FFS all just to fit some wheels! :mad:

"I wanna fit some ex F1, centrelock, magnesium 12x13's to my Polo, do 'you reckon they'll rub!? :roll::roll:

Rant over, I feel better for that! :lol::lol:

If you had the correct wheels, you wouldn't need ultra low profile tyres and stupid long wheel bolts to get 'em to fit would you - pleb! :lol:

At least he is trying to break away from the Norm, and is getting it eventually correct through trial and error, and friendly advice from Club Members!

Take it your whats know as a 'key board warrior'?

Bet you still drive your mums Polo with wheel trim spinners. :lol::lol:

^^^ My mum don't drive, and I haven't driven my breadvan in over 3 years! :cry::cry:

Its not a matter of being a "keyboard warrior" ( :roll: ), it just riles me why people want to try and fit wheels that ain't meant to fit.

And what is wrong with being "the norm"? Nothing, just the same as being different - thats fine. But why make it difficult for yourself when there are easier options?

What wrong with spinners anyway? :lol::lol:
