wobbly botls

[MrDeathLad]

can i use wobble bolts to fit 5x98 wheels to a 5x100 hub or will they not "wobble" that far (2mm)??? Also, how exactly do they work and how reliable are they?? never even heard of them before being on this forum...

cheers, Ben

A lot of people use wobble bolts to run 5/114.3 on the mk5 hub (5/112) so you should be fine.

Yep all good!
some brands are actually TUV approved, so you know its ok.
just make sure the bolt holes in the wheels are 14-15mm big, and you get some hub centre rings to make sure the centre bore is a nice match

also, check that the wheel is to suit a 14mm bolt hole, if no, the wheel will be able to be redrilled in a 5x100 14mm bolt pattern very easily.

a bolt with a shifting head. it allows the threaded section to pass straight through to the hub (as any normal bolt) but the seat has ~2.4mm of play to pick up the wheels seat

Whats TUV approved?

Is that an Aussie approval or an os approval thing?

Doesnt get you anything in AUS. But if the Germans think its safe (Australia is 15-20 years behind yeah?), its good enough for me

dude stick with the Aristos over those wheels for sure. It looks sick as it is. If you can find some 17x8 17x9 wheels you'd be sorted. we'll fit my TH lines one day!
