Tapered wheel bolts??

(1/4) > >>

matty_jetta:
Got a set of aftermarket merc reps to go on my car, they have tapered holes, can i run my standard wheel bolts or do i need to get new ones?  :sad1:

If so can anyone advise me on the bolt specs i will need?

What about my locking wheel nuts, guess i will need a new tapered set too?

matty_jetta:
anyone? :sad1:

TomB:
I was under the impression that all alloys took the same type of bolts, and it was steels that were different.

I'm going to try and get my Merc wheels on in the next couple of weeks, I'm going to take my old bolt and one of my wheels to a local wheel shop and let them work it out.  The last thing I want is the bolt to be too long or too short.

candy turbo:
wheel bolts are tapered or radius seat , most oem vw alloys use radius , if your merc wheels are tapered you ll need tapered bolts mate  :happy2:

BMX:
no iam not certifying this but in theory you could put radius bolts into tapered seats and it would work, but not tapered bolts into radius seats. but realisticaly you need the right ones obviously
