I've just bought these alloys....

... and I'm quite chuffed!
Momo 17", 8J, PCD 112, ET 35. Previously on an Audi A6.
I think I've ticked all the right boxes there, but wanted to check a couple of things...
Am I going to need spacers/longer sliding door hinge/centre bore machining?
Also, my bus has 14" alloys on it already, so will the current wheelbolts/nuts need replacing with longer ones?
Cheers folks

yup, read that a few times Guz, and I know about the 66mm bore on the front, but cant find anywhere if I'll need spacers with 8J ET35s to clear the metal stuff!

By the look of them I would say you might need the centre hole bored out to fit the hub nut, can't remember the corret size.
Look pretty snazzy though.......
Also check the rears to make sure the slider does not foul when opened.....you will probably need extended rear studs and longer front bolts, check the nut seatings also, ie tappered or radiused......
usually if tappered they have a straight angled seat, if radiused they usually have a bowled type seat.
best way to cheack is try and fit them, you may also need to remove the brake drum retaining screws for a flush fit on the rears.........
hope this helps

They are aftermarket wheels so most likely have spigot rings fitted, you may not need to have them machined.
