Wheels bolt length with 20mm spacers?

[Sharpy28]

Hi guys I've just bought some 20mm spacers for the rear of my car so I'm going to need some longer wheel bolts, what size am I going to need? Obviously 20mm longer than standard length but I don't know how long the are or wether to measure from end to end or do I measure the actual thread length? Anyone got a link to some they bought and use? Car is a vec c 5 stud btw

Can't remember off top of my head, 26mm thread for standard I think but you could bob out and measure one...

If no one confirms it I have a bag of bolts in my shed ill go measure later...

by way, are they 20mm hub centric and bolt on? If so standard bolts are fine!

No they arnt the hub centric bolt on ones, where do I measure from on the bolt? Just the threaded bit?

Depends where you buy em but yes, bottom of thread to the shoulder...

I've got 16mm front and 42mm bolts rings a bell, I'll try find the ebay seller I used, bolt place in Bradford but a bargain...

Look at this item: 130667085361

That's who I used for mine, and you won't need to add a full 20mm to the thread length as I'm sure I've read somewhere you need a min of 5 full turns before tightening wheel bolts and you spin the standard more then that...


Can't find my thread but me and Hairy31 have 16mm front spacers and I'm sure there was 5mm difference or so in the bolts we used...
