Ok,

I just got a new set of BKracing alloys for my tipo. they are the multifit type so have holes for 100 and 108 PCD. plan was to use the set of wobblies I currently have, problem is, they physically dont fit the holes on the wheels.

the type of bolts the wheels did come with dont actually have a hex bolt on the end for unscrewing like a normal bolt, they have a torx style hole (large alan key hole) for unscrewing and so the bolts arent as wide as normal ones.

problem is now that the wheels dont actually fit as they arent "wobbly" bolts.

so does anyone know where i can get a set of thinner torx style wobbly bolts OR does anyone know where I can get a set of thinner torx style wobbly nuts to use with studs?

the bolts/studs cant be wider than 20mm otherwise they physicaly wont fit the wheels

help!

I take it you mean the head is down a hole, so cannot be larger than 20mm?

The type of fastener you need is a allen bolt. Do the wobbly bits of the bolt fit down the hole or is that the part which is causing you the trouble?

thats whats causing the problem.. the wobbly bolts are wider than 20mm so dont fit down the hole.

i need to find some bolts/nuts that are wobbly and will fit in a 20mm hole

Where did you get the wheels from?

IIRC dave knows where you can get some thin wobblies from.

wheels from ebay.

these are the bolts.. ones on the left are the BK genuine bolts which fit but arent wobbly so the wheels wont fit. plus there the wrong thread type anyway.

one on the right is the wobbly bolts which are just too wide becuase of the ring part. plus even if they were thin enough, they wouldnt be able to be done up as they would sit in the hole. they either need a really long head so it sticks out of the hole OR a torx style bolt head.

Or a deep socket!

Ring up a shop which sells the wheels you've got and ask them what they do when someone wants fit them to Fiats using wobbly bolts..?? (If Dave doesnt know )

a deep socket wont work as there wont be enough clearence in the hole for the bolt and socket.

they still didnt fit BK that darkdave was wanting them for though

thats me buggered then

well ive got a plan anyway, im calling a company tomorrow that might be able to help. will see.

plus if all else fails.. ill get a set of bolts in 12x1.25 thread and just use those ive fitted 100pcd alloys with standard bolts before. or if not, get some studs and wobbly nuts and grind em down to fit hehe

hello mate looks like you need the help of www.trackstore.co.uk or phone them on01325 261336 I am sure they will have what you need good luck

nope they dont have what i need

i need a wheel 19mm diameter wheel bolt with an internal 12mm hex and a flat base. they only do then with a 60 degree base.

so to work around that. i would need a 60 degree to 60 degree 14mm washer which they do do, BUT it doesnt tell me the diameter so i cant tell if it will fit in the bolt hole .. will email them
