Length of the bolt you need depends on the wheel you are fitting, some after market wheels need you to run slightly longer tuner bolts than the standard bolts. All other details you have put are correct, just check the bolt length for the wheels you are fitting.  :happy2:

tbh on the bay there is a company doing KEI Racing bolts for £20 i think i will purchase those, KEI are a reputable company so there will be no problem.

wheels are standard VW but a bit special so i presume standard length will be fine. will make sure tho first.

thanks guys :happy2:

Quality wheel bolts i would have thought are a must, same with tyres, i don't skimp on either.
