Wheel bolt thread size?????

[focrs]

Hi guys do any of you know if the thread size???

I know its M12 but by 1.25 ,1.5 ,1.75 ??

I think it's 1.5 but need to know before i get them.

 

[Jay Payne]

Yea 1.5

 

[focrs]

Nice one cheers mate

What length of thread are people using for their wheel bolts?

 

[GeorgeH]

Standard bolt size are m12x1.5 26mm long 60 degree fixed seat.

 

[Tigger]

Cool. 26mm be good with a 3 or 5mm spacer?

 

[GeorgeH]

Some people say it's ok, personally for the price of bolts I wouldn't. As it happends I have some 5mm eibach spacers for sale with longer bolts if your interested (bad sales pun over)

 

[plasticmorph]

would 24mm be ok? I'm looking at mcgard locking nuts and can only see 24mm length. Sorry to hijak...

This is why I'm asking too lol longest locking nuts I can find are 26mm but I'm after a bit of a spacer too

 

[GeorgeH]

24mm should be fine. But you can buy the right ones from halfords. Acctually (here we go) I have some standard locking wheel bolts for sale mate, pm me, they are mcguard too!

Tigger ring demon tweaks, they do 33mm locking bolts which are good for 5-10mm spacers, not cheap though.

 

[Tigger]

By George! You're full of suprises today aren't you :rasp:

 

[GeorgeH]

Lol just passing on my 'knowledge'.

 

[Tigger]

Well thanks for sharing George

Standard bolt size are m12x1.5 26mm

is that 26mm just the thread length? (sorry for massive bump and probably will not get a reply from you)

 

[DanEdser]

no one?

 

[DanClio]

Yes mate! Base of the seat to the end of the bolt

 

[GeorgeH]

is that 26mm just the thread length? (sorry for massive bump and probably will not get a reply from you)

as above. yes thats the thread length only.

 

[DanEdser]

so i have 5mm spacers and the only bolts i can seem to get are 32mm long...

will the 1mm make the bolt bottom out on the hub or anything?

 

[DanEdser]

and if i where to do a stud conversion, what lengths would i need from this and this

 

[DanClio]

You will be fine with an extra 1 or 2 mm. It won't bottom out but will start rubbing on the hub when it goes all the way through the flange. Wind a bolt in without a wheel on and see how much sticks out, don't forget to spin it round and check it doesn't catch anywhere.

 

[GeorgeH]

you wont need longer bolts with 5mm spacers tbh. any higher and you will.

If you already had then bolt the wheel on and spin while in the air, listen for any resistance/rubbing

i dont have longer bolts, but was gonna get some for extra reassurance

Anyone know if these are ok for a 182? They seem ok but is 27mm ok for a standard Turini - no spacers http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TPI-Polar...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item56524884a5

 

[Filippo]

Also, do I need taper seat, flat seat or radius seat?

 

[DanEdser]

No theyre for mercedes.

You need a radius seat.

 

[Filippo]

Cheers mate. I did see that it said Mercedes...but I thought that might have just been another car they fit

Hi guys, i'm getting 20mm spacers for my mk2 1.2 clio lowered at 60mm.

What size wheel bolts would be good for these?

Id be getting the bolt to hub type mate for 20mm

carparts4less.co.uk are £67 with CP10LESS discount code. Thats all you need rather then using longer bolts.

 

[GrahamS]

24mm is standard. Why risk a bolt snapping and a crash for the sake of a few quid on proportionally longer bolts.
