Winter Wheels/Wheel Nuts

[cgap]

Morning all,

Currently have stock 16" alloys on my Mk3 TCE 100 Tourer with 195/50 tyres.

Have bought some 15" steel wheels fitted with 185/55 winter tyres. They're off a Mk2 Clio.

Are the wheel nuts from my 16" alloys a straight swap to the steelies or will they need something a little shorter?

Cheers
Christoph

To anyone else needing this info in future, the wheel bolts from the 16" oem alloys seem to fit 15" oem steels pretty well - I thought they might be a little long, but maybe the difference in offset makes up for this.

My first time using winter tyres (Avon Ice Touring) and I must say the car does feel like it has plenty more grip sub 5 degrees, not had any extreme cold weather in the midlands yet though.
