    Wheel bolts

    Hi there, this is more for those who have fit japanese wheels to a early german car.

    Im in a pickle with how to mount my wheels to the car as the bolts i need are meant to have a sleeve insert sort of thing to keep them from moving around when mounted and as far as i know there are no bolts that have the sleeve to do that. any help?
    But no really, I like to look distinguished when I step out of the car. People are like, "wonder what he does for living."
    I just reply, "your daughter, sir." - some dude on stanceworks

    I had fixed half the broken crap but that just meant it was still halfway inoperable

        Guessing you mean you need conical/after market bolts rather then oem/ball seats then?

          Shanked wheel bolts are what i need, thats what the sleeve i was talking about is

            If I've understood correctly...

            You either have to convert your hub to studs & use shanked / sleeved nuts
            or

            get shanked nuts & locktite a threaded section into them
            or

            Find somewhere to supply these (speedshack in the UK have them). They call them a sleeve bolt.
