Extended wheel bolts

Hi guys I have sourced some 16 inch merc mono block alloys for my t25. The centers have been bored out already so they are good to go on but I was wondering if I needed some extended wheel bolts to fit them safely.

Thanks

Re: To hubcap or not to hubcap?

I went down the rover p6 route. Managed to get a set of 4 domed caps for a tenner, removed the rover badge, polished them up and they look great. Definitely something to consider if your on a budget.

Re: VW Retro Classics in Hastings

I'm currently having my van prepped for its MOT by Dave at Eastbourne campers and cars. I have had work done there before and been happy with the results/price. They are not to far from Hastings if your still looking for somewhere.

Re: rover p6 hubcaps?

I just brought a set of these on ebay. Will the rover badges lift off or will they need to be nuked with nitromors?
