coullstar 0 Posted November 27, 2004 Going to look at a set of E30 BBS wheels tomorrow and I was just wondering if my VW bolts will be ok to use? They are the 7x15 ET24 ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted November 27, 2004 Check what shape the hole in the wheel is. Some are rounded like VW others have a straight taper. Get studs to match the wheels. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted November 28, 2004 Does anybody know. I bought the wheels and they do seem to have a straight taper. The bolts tightened but it didnt feel right. The bolts are holding with about 12mm of thread against 17mm for normal wheels. Looks like I am needing new bolts but does anybody know what taper these wheels have? The guy didnt have the original bolts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coullstar 0 Posted November 28, 2004 They sit fine. I think I have found out that the BM wheels are 60deg taper therefore you cannot use VW Bolts as the radius seat bolts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
