slideways 44 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) Ive been trying to locate some longer (5mm+) wheel bolts for my e30 but havent had much luck. The best thread i found here was this: Another wheel bolt thread Anyone know of any other/better places I can get some (pref in Wellington) for a reasonable price (happy to pay up tp $5 each)? Cheers, Edited March 24, 2006 by slideways Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 3 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) Road & track om Lower Hutt have what you're after. You really do have to make sure that your bolts go all the way into the hub and not just part way otherwise you'll meet an untimely end.

slideways 44 Report post Posted March 27, 2006 I got longer bolts for the race car from local tyre shop in Petone. they were a MOMO brand in 4 packs. Which tyre shop would that be and how much were they?I went to road and track and they had a good range and the best price i could get was $5.95 each which would be $95 for a full set. Mag and turbo said they dont do them even after a few phone calls, which is a bummer cause it would have been good to get them for$2.50 each. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surge 1 Report post Posted March 27, 2006 You really do have to make sure that your bolts go all the way into the hub and not just part way otherwise you'll meet an untimely end. Thats how my purchased parts car met it's end, the hub sheared in half from having too short wheel bolts from 17" mags with a 5mm spacer.... Wouldn't be fun to have that happen at 100 odd k...

slideways 44 Report post Posted March 28, 2006 have you thought of using studs? i got mine from cpa in petone yea i was gonna go down that route but in the end it worked out to be over $100 by the time i got some nuts, then i have to get loctite. so i thought it would be much better to source some longer bolts.
