Need some longer bolts for my 10mm spacers which sort do i need? Is it the radius ones also anyone know what sort of length i should be buying?

 

[PaulW]

What spacer brand is it pal?

Standard bolt is 25mm so you would need 35mm bolts. As a rule of thumb you need 6 full turns for it to be safe.

Awesome gti do them at £1.8o each

Not sure as i havent actually purchased them yet.

Will probably be H&R

 

[PaulW]

Buy some with bolts?

 

[cuprabob]

Standard bolt is 25mm

I thought they were 27mm?

 

[PaulW]

I thought they were 27mm?

My standards have been cut then, i just measured with a caliper and they are 25's

Only set ive found with bolts is on ebay by creation motorsports, would rather buy tried and tested.

It would seem odd to cut off 2mm. Never actually measured one but always thought it was 27mm. I could be wrong

Won't it have a rough edge if it's been cut?? A new bolt will have a nice tapered end to it.

 

[Blw.]

well i can buy 35mm or 40mm bolts so guess theyre 25's as standard

I must be wrong then

It was said in jest. I know what a cut bolt would look like. Not that i advise use sell or do that.

Measured again and they are 25mm.

Ive used Creation Motorsport before. They have a bad rep but not sure why, they have been excellent with me

And no they are not tapered at the threaded end

I've only read (mostly) good things but could find little regarding their spacers

They must be new, ive never known they sell them. Top guys though

I think he might be referring to the slight chamfer that helps with the lead in.

Sorry for the confusion

Haha. Dont save his bacon.

RJH assuming i dont know what a cut bolt looks like with 3800 posts and 35 thanks is crazy

Standard wheel bolts are usually 27mm.

You want a radius head on standard wheels.
