wheel nut specs for a mk1?

[MiKe1_golf]

what are the wheel nut specs for a mk1? just going to grab some longer bolts while i'm at work, but dont have one to compare against. it'll save me having to make a special trip on the weekend.

i think they are a 12mm thread with a 1.25 pitch?? and 40mm long with a 17mm head.. not 100% sure!

that looks promising. may be a little too long. but that can be fixed.

Just be careful when going to longer wheel bolts

Too long & they can poke through into the rear drum & tear up the rear brake shoe assembly's.

I've had this happen to me before.

Fronts will be fine with longer bolts


BMW wheel bolts are a good size with only a fraction shaved off the ends.
They also come with a crazy hard black coating & look good too.

BMW and AUDI bolts can be found in good lengths. Pretty cheap at the self serve wreckers too.

i managed to order longer wheel nuts through my work (from NICE products) There are two different types of wheel studs (as far as i know) and the ones that i got are the same length as the longer ones that come stock on a golf. i can probably dig up a part number.

[MiKe1_golf]

how much longer though? i need rears 15mm longer and and fronts 8mm longer...

how much longer are the beemer ones?

[Peter Jones]

It varies from model to model. An Audi one here on my desk measures at 25mm.

FYI if you ever need longer bolts go to PEPs i ordered 8 for the front 8.5mm longer and 8 for the rear about 17mm longer. should do the trick.
