Post by **steve n liz** » 29 Feb 2008, 15:49

Hi people just got myself some 16" 7j et33 slk alloys,i was just wondering if i will need anything else to fit them eg longer bolts,taper/radius etc or do they go straight on?

cheers steve

no they won't go straight on

you'll need longer studs and radiused nuts

and a 215/60X16" or a 225/55X16" tyre to have an almost identical circumference

my ten pence here...are the rims up to job of supporting the weight of your van?

if these are the polished retro looking wheels you will need 5-8mm spacer on the front (rear too if you want the same ET all round)

standard newer audi/vw/seat/skoda 14 mm wheel bolts will do on the front (available in G&S)
rear end wise if you get the correct nuts , they are radius type but a smaller radius than the ones for oe. steels
then you wont need longer studs, inless you want to space out the rear wheels.

you should also need to drill the bolt holes to 14.5 mm as they will be for 12mm bolts.

this info is all based on them being this wheel
