Title: OEM and Aftermarket Wheel Bolts
Post by: monte on October 13, 2010, 11:11:10 pm

Anyone know what spec the OEM bolts are please? (seat, thread and length)

I have tried the original ones in my new wheels, and although the stem/seat of the bolts is right, I think they could do with being a bit longer.

I was gonna order some off ebay, but there are quite a few variations  :ashamed:

Thanks.  :smiley:

14x1.5 radius on the Leon which i would imagine are the same as the Golf.

I'm pretty sure the oem bolts are a nats pube over 25mm.

I bought a set of 35mm bolts off ebay not so long ago to fit alongside a set of 5mm wheel spacers and all seems fine and dandy.

As far as I know the standard size is 28mm. The ones you linked to look fine, and are a decent price too.
