Wheel Bolt Help

Featured Replies

I'm led to believe standard Fabia wheel bolts are 14 mm 1.5 thread and the thread length is 28mm long. They are radius seated.

I am running 15mm spacers on the rear with extended bolts again radius seated.

My new wheels are Team Dynamics and the bolts supplied are 60 degree seated. I don't really want to have to remove the spacers as I've tried all kinds of different sizes to finally get it sitting how I like it.

My mate seems to think that I'll be fine using the bolts that I already have but I'm unsure if he understands what I mean.

Yo danham i take it that the team dynamics bolts are not extended, you will need extended 60 degree bolts, ebay has loads of them .As im sure you know there is more stress on wheel bolts when spacers are fitted, i fitted 20mm spacers on mine got the proper bolts and even bought a torque wrench so i could nip up the bolts to the perfect torque.

Just got myself confused mate, wrote it all down and I've finally got my head around it!

I've found on eBay some bolts that I need. Going to buy 2 different sizes. Now to find some 7mm hub centric spacers for the front!

More money to spend :D

Will get the wheels fitted tomorrow but just remove the spacers and use standard bolts for now.

As OCD says, you need different bolts for a 60 degree seat than for a radius one. Ask your mate who says otherwise if he's prepared to pay all costs if you lose a wheel.

I don't think he understands what I mean in fairness to him. I've got some standard length tapered (60 degree) bolts so will get the spacers removed at the same time as the tyres swapped over.

They need to go on a black fabia that way you can keep your spacers!

Yeah will look good B)

Just like your seats need to go into a red one ;)
