I'm pretty sure that Howard is right - IIRC the standard alloy wheel bolts all have the same length of the bolt shaft from the radius seat on the bolt, but you can get different length heads so that they sit flusher on the outside.

Quickest/easiest way to check would be to insert one of your bolts into one of the old wheels, and measure how much thread protrudes - then do the same with the new wheels.

And the wheels look like a great buy - what a bargain!

Thanks Will, it really was one of those rare moments where fleabay came up trumps and I got a superb bargain considering these retail around £400 each new, without tyres!

Can't reiterate enough how grateful I am to Howard for finding them so quick, this forum has been so helpful to me already, power to the people hee hee

Sorry I was a bit vague, as the guys say its just the differend head lengths.

Hi all,
Was wondering if anyone could advise on the tyre pressure in psi that I should have for these alloys I purchased. I have checked and get different opinions so thought i'd ask the people in the know.......you guys

Same as the filler cap.

IIRC 29 front 31 rear ?

[Howard]
