Alloy wheel studs

[billmur]

My car came with the standard steel wheels but i have been offered a set of standard A4 alloys alloys at a too good to miss price:p my problam is will the standard wheel studs that are on the car do or will i need to get different one for the alloys?????:confused: i'am collecting the wheels today and would like to fit them today:1zhelp::1zhelp::1zhelp:

My a4 came with steels and i bought some wheels off an 02 a4, which were the same as what my parents had. I compared my bolts to theirs and they were the same length and taper :) so yeah you should be fine!

Great too know :D cheer's mate:beerchug:

the Alloys i got were of an 03 - A4

if you are picking them up from the owner of the car, then ask if you could compare one of your bolts to his :)

I allready have them, I picked them up this afternoon

I fitted them to the car, they seem ok but it was still at the back of my mind when i took it for a test drive again all seemed ok but i'll jack it up tomorrow and check them again tomorrow(better safe than sorrry):aargh4:

[pauloliver]

how many turns do you get out of them before it tightens up?

[billmur]

LOL too tell the truth i never counted :Blush2:

they went in about what i would call average turn's
if they had tightened after a few turns the alarm bells would have rung:confused: and i checked too make sure there was no fouling

then after i had test driven it i took the fronts off and checked for any sign's of wear on the stud taper and the seating on the alloys all seems well but to be safe i'll check again after a few more miles
