The 30mm bolts do not allow the front discs to turn when tightened, I'm currently grinding mine down:

Thanks for the link, just picked up my alloys up
However I got a bunch of bolts with them and I can't work out what the little ones do, any ideas?

Hi I'm over here from the bravo section being nosey lol, I've put aftermarket alloys on my bravo and had to take them little bolts out. I was told by the tyre place where I had my wheels fitted them bolts keep the brake disc in place but when the wheels are fitted the studs also keep them in place but don't 100% quote me on that.
I'm running 4x100 alloys with plastic spigots and wobble bolts, have been for over 6 months now and no problems

I was sceptical aswell but I suppose needs must
car looks good btw 
Did you end up making all the 30mm bolts to about 22mm in the end then or just the front ones? Looks good on, should have mine on soon enough now I'm back from holiday.
Quite true,
BUT they are supposed to help keep the brake disc tight on the hub, when the wheels are OFF the car
you don't really want any crud getting in there and making your discs run out..
however FORD's just let the discs hang on Studs..!!,
so choice is yours..
as said above the SPIKES are handy on Steel rims, but on alloys they are pretty pointless ( sorry
)BUT you can use the short headed ones ( without Spikes) to actually hold the discs in place

if the fronts were too long the rears would have mashed up all the brake parts inside the drum if left long.

I tested the size of them all by jacking the car up, securing the front wheel on and seeing if it turns, but I couldn't do this with the rear drums as I'd have to take the handbrake off so I shortened them anyways
What did you use to cut them down?
And how have you got the ends to still stay usable after cutting down?

A small grinder, and I locked them in a vice and just went around the thread with a small screwdriver
you could get them turned down in a lathe for not a lot of money
