I have bought some second hand alloys & would like to know if I can use the bolts from my steel wheels or do I have to get another set?

The wheels are off a Seat Ibiza 16"

Shudn't b a prob mate. Ask the dealer when your in for your new bolts. They might need to order them for you, that won't take long. Nxt day, just tell them you want them on vor order. Might get a discount if you wait longer(stock order). :P

Here's a thing been into dealers today & told by their cheif mehanic that I dont need to order any! The old ones will match with the alloys just as long as their VAG wheels which they are & the shoulders match. Got home & fitted the wheels & counted the number of turns to do up the wheels to the point where you need the wrench to tighten them, the reults

Steel wheels = 7 turns

Alloy wheels = 6 1/2 turns

Half a turn wont alter things that much. Mechanic also said that they only make one bolt & it will fit both steel & alloy wheels, said it helps cut down maufacturing costs!

your bolts should be ok.on the furby vrs you have to use the bolts for the alloy wheels to fit the spare STEEL wheel.i drive with steel wheels over the winter using the alloy bolts no probs.
