wheel bolts and spacers

[hillclimber]

Just bought a 2001 Ph 1 172 for a commuter/spare track chariot
It's in need of some new wheel bolts and i'm going to spacer out the front with 10mm spacers and the rears with 5mm spacers and increase the camber at the rear at the same time...

What length and thread size should I be getting for the bolts?

Helps much appreciated

Thanks

Not sure on the front but these look good on the back:

I am guessing for the front though you would need bolts around 8mm longer something like that. I think people say you need to get 6 full turns of the bolt for it to be secure.

Thanks sam

I was thinking around 8-10mm longer than standard but what length is standard to start with?

does anyone know off the top of their head?

Go for 10mm longer. I had 10mm spacers on my corsa and bought longer bolts than needed as the garage just cut the excess. If i'm right you need to be able to do 8 full turns.

Don't bother with longer bolts as long term on the track you may strip them. Fit studs.
