Correct wheel stud Question?

Post by Spitfire6 »

Hi,
I have OEM alloys on my car.
Today I spent 600 quid for MOT and now I have vibration; This will be for another thread.

I removed 6 wheel studs and only two were the same. One is tapered. One is tapered with a washer. One is not tapered. One is tapered with two washers. One has a tapered washer. One has a different AF Hex.

And there are about three different lengths!!! LOL.

So, my problem is what are the correct type and length for my wheels so I can buy some and then get my other problems sorted.

Any help with links will be gratefully accepted.

Thanks,
Iain.

Nimrods have the bolts with flat captive washers ... These look ok

they were 17mm heads for the smaller 14" nimrods on our hatchback

The dealer wasn't expensive when I bought 12 new ones a few years ago

Hi,
Many thanks.
I had used the search but any EBay link was too old to show.

You have shown me the beast I need.
Cheers,
Iain.

P.S It also means the chamfer only ones are way wrong!

Chamfer only are for steel wheels.

Incidentally fit steels and the washers sit proud of the wherl and the chamfered face fits the wheel ... Dual-purpose bolts.
