Hey guys, i was curious, rather than using the European style and using bolts/studs, is there a way to put in bolts on the hub, so that you can use a nut instead. Kinda of like a Honda?


For example, for people using spacers, they need to have longer bolts, however what if a bolt...

I have a chance to get BBS SR rims in 17" for my Mk6 R
Wanted to go down a size and eventually go with 245X45X17 to fill in the wheel arch
The sellers states the Hub bore is 82mm where as the Mk6r is 57.1mm .
My question is what am I...

Hi all

Like the car, not so much the wheels, so I upgraded. Happy to hear your thoughts.

Full specs are ...

Rims: VMR V701 Gunmetal 19x8.5 ET45 Hub 57.1
Tyres: Michelin PS4 19x245/40

Both chosen after a lot of research and lingering on too many...

Just fitted mud flaps to my car. Very hard to remove the wheels due to corrosion on the hub and alloy wheel. Be careful if you need to change a flat tyre. A lady will not be able to remove the wheel, unless she is on Gorilla juice !! I had to hit the wheels with a hide faced hammer and lever them...

Just wondering if anyone knows the size of the rear hub nut. Is it a 36mm double hex like the front? Is it a reusable nut - it wouldn't have to be a one use like the fronts would it? torque spec?

All, I'm wanting to run the standard steel wheels without covers, but I'm having trouble finding VW badges that will cover the hubs. Has anyone done this before? It's a standard 1.6 with 14s. I've looked on line, but the centre badges I've found don't fit. For the rear, I could just glue/stick a badge...

I very quickly need some 5 x 100 PCD, 57.1mm CB and about 5-6mm thick spacers. Anyone got anything fitting that description that's sitting on a shelf. Preferably aluminium. My new wheels are a papers width from the calipers and the valve is grazing the caliper too so need some spacers to get some...

Hi Guy's,
Just bought a 2012 Eos petrol and have the opportunity to buy a set of Audi 19 inch Peelers in 19 x 8.5 ET43. I'm aware the stud pattern is the same and also I will need hub centre rings as they are from an Audi A4 (66.6mm hub diameter), but it's the fit/offset I'm worried about. Will...

Slim 20mm with slimline bolts to bolt to hub, 2nd hand but good condition, never used by me, sold the turbo bug so no longer needed,
$250 posted aus wide, set of 4
Located in WA can drop off perth SOR

5 x 100, 16x7JJ, ET35, had previously been given a backyard coat of matt black, otherwise in very good mechanical condition ie no rash, clean hub mounting face, ran dead true on the tyre balancer.

These were apparently an OEM option rim. I initially bought them from Camden GTi and they...

I'm in the middle of upgrading the front struts (and springs) on my B6 Passat. Despite using a spreader tool in the split of the hub/wheel bearing housing, I've found it quite difficult to remove the strut due a tight fit. When installing the new Koni struts, it's proving to be even more challenging...

Hi, I have been searching for places that sell the center hub of my VW wheels. After scouring through ebay, I noticed that all that is on sale, is those that come with clips, and there is nothing like mine. So I hope I can find some help from here, on where I can get the replacements as in the pictures...

The old girl is nearly complete!
this is the lowest i can get the van without a hub mod.


I will be attending a couple car shows this year also....

i am unsure what type of front brakes the cabby come with, but this one appears to have gti disks with the standard calipers.
there is an adapter plate between the caliper and the hub, does this look like the case.?
the brakes don't feel very good, but i have nothing to compare them to!...
