Title: Wheel bolt help please!
Post by: JoeDarKa on December 14, 2011, 01:13:25 pm: Hi guys,

Iv bought some 15 inch steelies for the golf for some winter tyres. My current wheel bolts are tapered and im not sure they will fit. I think the bolts I need are WHT002437 (http://www.jimellisvwparts.com/products/Wheel-bolt/5250861/WHT002437.html) which are m14 x 1.5 x 27mm. VW are wanting £52 for 16 bolts which is mental! Can anyone confirm if i need tapered bolts or round ended bolts?

These are my wheels:

The ones I've been looking at on ebay are these:

If i need the round headed bolts, i presume these locking nuts will be ok?

Cheers guys!

Think these are them! The seat and skoda ones are £3 cheaper than the VW ones, even though they are the same :stupid:

Thanks for your help

Doh, you got a thank instead of a quote...... :grin: I only asked due to the size of the wheel, as a 15" won't fit over the GTi discs (I don't think). :happy2:

Post by: skard on December 15, 2011, 11:30:54 am: I've also got 15" steelies with 288mm discs. They fit - very, very snuggly though!
