yorkshireone 0 Posted October 1, 2008 Okay so I've got myself some steelies for the winter, and Im reliably informed by Mic_VR that my standard wheel nuts with which my speedlines were fixed will do the job. Unfortunately I've lost them all. Anyone know the spec of the wheelnut, or any other VWs which use the same nut? Im going down to the scrappies tomorrow to have a look If I can find some. From using the search function I've determined that they are M14 1.5mm (whatever that means.) How long are they? :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted October 1, 2008 If you get OE ones from the scrappy they will be long enough. From what i understand all the OE bolts are the same length. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any idea which aberdeen scrappy would be best or should I just try any? I was going to go to the one on near tesco's at mugiemoss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted October 2, 2008 £2 each from VW - i'd buy new ones Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yorkshireone 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Although I would like some new ones, I think that spending £40 on wheel nuts would break my heart. I've give VW a ring tho and see what they say. If only I could use TPS. Edit - £2.67 each from VW! Sod that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Yeah I think the one beside Tesco's is your best bet or try Eastside as Im sure someone asked for the same not that long ago and there was a few guys with spare sets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 2, 2008 Stock bolts 55mm long IIRC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emirc 0 Posted October 7, 2008 On my car they are 48mm long :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lufbramatt 0 Posted October 8, 2008 ones off any 5x100 VW will fit, ie mk3,4 golf, etc will fit, the 4-stud ones are too small though. And you need the ones with the domed seat under the head, not the conical ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conker 0 Posted September 5, 2010 Bit of a thread resurrection... The post above mentions domed, not conical nuts... I've got standard BBS solitudes, but the nuts currently on my car are conical? Do I need to buy domed ones, or will the current ones do? Domed Example: Conical Example: Any advice appreciated, David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted September 5, 2010 You must match the wheel bolt seat to the wheel... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conker 0 Posted September 6, 2010 You must match the wheel bolt seat to the wheel... Poo. Presumably OEM wheels are the domed variety - and that means a full set of bolts needs buying. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Presumably OEM wheels are the domed variety - and that means a full set of bolts needs buying. :( maybe try for a swap with one of the guys in the compomotive group buy thread - they need conical and will currently have radius if they're on standard style wheels Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
