Hi All, Been watching these alloys on Teebay (260078516119) and pm'd the seller regarding fitment. His reply was that they fit straight on to the hubs using standard bolts and no need for spacers etc.
Sounds good to me but am I going to run into problems?, read about alot of the problems people on here have had and the cost involved in changing over to alloys from steels.
Cheers, DeeGee

they may/may not fit, but i would NOT trust them to be secure using the standard bolts.
this is because for a given strength requirement, aluminium needs to be around 3 times the thickness of steel. the standard bolts are designed for thin, steel wheels. and the nuts will not be on enough threads of the stud, or the bolts won't be on enough threads in the disc if there's thicker aluminium wheels in between the nut / bolthead and the disc / drum

having said that it's only around £30 for longer studs & bolts, and a few hours work, if you have all the right tools and skills. however, what other lies does he tell?
