New alloys, same wheel nuts?

[HarleQuinn]

Hi all,

 

standard neptune alloys are 7.5J and ET51.

 

I am looking at some 8J alloys with 45ET.

 

My question is, will the standard octavia wheel nuts off the neptune still fit the newer alloys?

 

Cheers

Depends on what the new wheels are. If they are VAG group wheels your original bolts should fit, if they are aftermarket you need to find if radius or taper bolts are required.

They will be aftermarket. VAG replicas.

 

I might have some bolts that have the correct style. So the 6mm difference in ET and 7.5 to 8J isn't a concern regarding bolt length?
