Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    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?

                Present: Mk3 Golf variant.

                        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.
