Extended wheel bolts
« on: April 01, 2014, 09:33:00 pm »
I've got some 10mm spacers I'm hoping to try on the back wheels of my Jetta when I fit my summer wheels shortly.
Obviously I need longer bolts to accommodate so I've had a look on flea-bay and found some of reasonable price, but i'm a bit dubious as these bolts will play an important part in keeping me alive!
Where has everyone else got longer bolts from?

Thanks in advance for any pointers!

I've always used the H&R bolts (41mm) for 10mm spacers, had them from both DPM performance and the TT shop in the past  :happy2:

Personally I think air rules....Love bouncing the back end of my 40' DAF at the traffic lights, sadly with a woman, kid and three kittens to support it'll be a while before the Jetta gets blessed with air ride :sad1:
