Wheel bolt size

[182_Adam]

Sounds stupid but can anyone tell me the dimensions of the standard wheel bolt e.g. m12x1.25 (20mm length)

thanks.

M12 x 1.25 iirc lol. Good guess.

30mm long

 

[182_Adam]

seemed like that was the standard size lol

so if i was to get 10mm space i would simply need 40mm long?

 

[Knuckles]

Bolt to hub spacers?

Yeah, I'd think 40 should do... How much of the thread goes into the hub though?

 

[182_Adam]

all i'm trying to do is accommodate the difference in offset. I've got wheels which are a et42. so simple wheel spacers seem ok. I'm really not sure how much goes in or are longer bolts needed at all?

 

[Knuckles]

If you have the time, take a wheel off, stick the bolt through, if it sticks out of the back 20mm, 10mm of thread will go into the hub after you fit the spacers so you'll be able to gauge how long of a bolt you'll need.

thats a last resort if someone doesn't come and give you the answer though

 

[182_Adam]

thats a fair shout, cheers.

 

[Knuckles]

No bother, I hope you don't have to faff around though

The 172 / 182's are m12 x 1.5, Do you need to know the thread length or the total length of the bolt?

 

[182_Adam]

thread length please dan
