Hello guys,

 

What's sphere size for original wheel bolt WHT001812 M14x1.5x27 ?

Found aftermarket rims and those are "for R13 sphere bolts".

But there also exists R12 and R14 sphere bolts for some cars/rims.

I suppose, original also is R13 as (...) "most common for mid-size cars" (...)

Well first things first. I am assuming when referring to sphere bolts they are referring to a domed seat surface rather than say a flat seat. This link came up and whilst may not show every type and the naming convention may differ in some countries shows some key style differences..

As for the second part of your question that may just be a generic descriptor for the lug nuts used commonly on say r13, r14, r15 rims.  I'd always go with the thread diameter and pitch as you've listed as matching what you want.   M14x1.5x27.. 

 

I'd go with 13

Thank you, Wino- R13 looks trustable indeed.

Thank you for info; you gave me extra useful web page which I missed in my searches.

To 2nd part: yes, this was just copy-paste info from description of OE part number.
