Wobble bolts are they safe and how do they actually work?

[Kemnaychris]

As above

There's a set if wherls I really want but there 5x110 :(

Would wobble bolts or what ever there called will it put it to 5x112? Safely ?

Yes, but PLEASE get pukka TUV approved ones, rather than some Chinese tat off ebay.

Cheers are they expensive and who sells them?

I got them off a trader on here who sells wheels, the name escapes me at the moment, so I'll look it up.

Pretty much every Italian car on aftermarket wheels will be on PCD correction bolts, as nobody bothers making 4/5x98 wheels for a limited market, when 4/5x100 are so mainstream.

A bolt with a eccentric washer is not in itself dangerous, you'll find them use all over the place on cars, suspension usually to allow camber correction. Where people fall foul is not having the correct centrebore/spigot ring. The wheel itself must be centred tight to the hub, you can't run say a 60mm centrebored wheel on a 57.2 (iirc?) VAG, as if it moves, then there's a chance you'll slip the wobble bolts too and you're in a whole world of pain.

These were 5x114.2 and as you can see, took a lot of abuse on track.

Oh rite cheers for that :-)

I just can't understand how they work it's like ur alloy holes are perfect with holes in hub but can't see how these bolts work as offset is few mm different lol

Might just be me but when inserting bolts it's like they fit perfect but wobble bolts move alloys few  mm is that what they do ?

[tony_danza]

The taper part of the nut is more like a washer, with a bigger hole which allows it to sit at a slightly different point than the centreline of the bolt - thus correcting the PCD.

Oh rite cool lol anyone know the prices of these and where u get them from?
