Longer Bolts or not ?

Postby kelvin156 on Sun Feb 03, 2008 5:01 pm

I am fitting new 15" alloys to my Mk3.5 si.

They have ET38 have been told optimum is ET35.

Someone said i need 3 mm spacers, if so do i need longer nuts/bolts.

Someone else said they will fit fine ?

Help which is my best option ?

dont think you can get 3mm spacers I think I used 5mm ones before and never had longer nuts. Best bet is to trial fit a wheel and see how many turns you get on the nut..........
does my big look arse in this?

Yes you can get 3mm spacers, no you don't need longer bolts.
