Hi all, been a long time since I needed your help. Well my Son has bought himself a Fabia vrs & he's purchased a set of 6mm spacers & Me being Me offered to fit them.

What a mistake! 2 of the wheel bolts would not tighten up, on inspection the threads were stripping on the bolt, not in the disc though. I think I need longer wheel bolts as mine measure 27mm thread length. Iv'e searched the 'Bay' & found several sellers with extended 35mm bolts described as fitting mk1 vrs.  with a 60 degree tapered seat but also in every sellers description it says "if you have original oem alloys, please contact us as they may not fit".

Could anyone tell me whether these 60 degree taper sets are suitable or not. Btw...the wheels are original factory. Thanks in anticipation, & I've missed you lol.

 

Factory alloys use radius seat bolts, so doesn't look promising.

Yeah, thanks for that Wino. Just as I thought, those 60 degree tapered bolts didn't look right. Think radius seats are a little rounded (cup-shaped) to sit in the wheel holes as opposed to the tapered ones. Wonder if VAG do extended bolts.

Dunno, but ebay has plenty. Not recommending this supplier per se (good feedback numbers though), but these came up easily enough on a search for "m14 x 35 radius seat" or something along those lines:

Thanks Wino, for taking time & effort to help. Spent an hour on google & found out that the bolts I want are indeed radius R12 . Bought a set of 35mm bolts & 4 locking set off ebay from caravan bolts, so hopefully sorted. OOOH... I have missed Briskoda lol.
