Alloys

[eddy]

hi all its newbie eddy again

 

i currently have steel wheels on my xantia turbo diesel 1997

 

i have got a set of xantia turbo alloys from a friend now my question is am i ok using the same bolts from my steel wheels for my alloys or do i need different bolts ?

 

i have checked the bolt and it is tapered like the holes in the alloys and seats ok ?

 

i just wondered if there ok to use or if i need different bolts and if so which ones

 

of course the mandatory locking wheel bolts/nuts will be purchased

 

many thanks for ant respone in advance

 

kind regards eddy

I obviously don't know what type of Xantia alloy wheel you have but in my experience of Xantia alloys, the wheel bolts are very different, being longer to cope with alloy wheels being thicker and have a washer attached.

 

When alloys were fitted from new, the spare wheel was steel but has special mounting posts welded around the wheel bolt holes to give a flat, rather than tapered mounting.
