What does a corrective bolt do?

I've never heard the term.

HOW do you find a video like that??

Just on the note of 4x98 and 4x100 bizo, I've read or heard of people that just bore out the holes of 4x98 to make it fit 4x100 pattern.'

Best consult and engineer/wheel guy about that though.

neil and i were talking about that option too... people's thoughts? theoretically it should be safe i would think since the bolts dont take force in that direction...

id rather go the corrective bolts than mess with how the bolt seats in the rim.
The ones raderwerks does are TUV approved. And cos they seat nicely in the rim id think it would be a cheaper and safer option

Yep, I agree with Tim. Wobble bolts may look iffy but if they're TUV approved, you won't go wrong. A search got me a link to a UK site - http://www.priracing.com/section.php/158/2/taper-bolts - but don't know if they're TUV approved or not. Also, I would think wheel specialists would know of a source for these bolts?

So, with a 5x112 pattern on wobble bolts, could you use 5x114.3 wheels?

yep thats the idea opens up a whole world of wheel posibilities...

just spotted these on ebay! theyre 5x114.3! I reckon they would look the goods on your GT!

[Mischa]

lol har har har very funny they need to be chrome then they'd be fully sick on my V

Wobble bolts are a great idea in my opinion, but availability in Aus is non existent to my knowledge. I also think an insurance company would look down upon them, despite being TUV approved.

With a 5x114 rim on a 5x112 car, an engineer can machine the current stud pattern roughly 1mm over so the rims still look factory when mounted.

MkV's look hot on the BBS rs even 17s, 1 issue is finding a high enough offset.
