last nite i was driving goin round an island heard a few nockin noises then bang my car stopped dead in the middle of an island lol. got out to find my wheel had come off! luckily it had wedged it self underneath the arch so it saved my brake disc and arm lol. waited for the recovery truck to come and to tell me the nuts used were the rong ones and afta checkin the other three wheels and the nuts were mixed and matched :confused: so the nob i brought the car off when he put the stillo abarth wheels on p******d about with the bolts!! Could any body tell me what size bolts i need, it for 17inch stilo abarth alloys onto a 2000 fiat bravo cheers
 
you might need new hubs if he's put the wrong wheel bolts in, but saying that you might be able to get them re-threaded???

i do have 8 brand new O.E fiat wheel nuts that i bought to put on mine but i needed coupe ones not bravo ones as the coupe ones have a longer shank.
 
If they have been put in wrong and the thread damaged then a competent machinist could easily drill out and re-thread the hole's but you would need larger diameter bolts,

The biggest problem is finding one as it's a skill dying out! maybe a local college or old boy at a model engineering club!
 
thats easily sorted my mate before he got made redundant was an engineer and still has access to all the machines needed to drill out and retap the wholes so all is good will just have to find out the measurements and get him to make me sum new bolts lol
