Anybody have trouble fitting BBS wheels or indeed lightweight wheels in general?

 

Went to fit the rears today just to see the how they fitted with the offset, but just discovered that I'll need to get a different set of wheel nuts and perhaps a replacement set of bolts for the hub as there doesn't seem to be a lot of the existing bolts coming through the wheel for the wheel nuts to get much grip.

 

Anybody encounter this before? Also just in case I don't need to replace the wheel bolts, what is the thread type of the existing bolts?

 

Thanks in advance.

Quite a common problem that sometimes does mean replacing the studs for longer ones.

 

However before you commit to that, if the wheels can accept a long shank nuts that maybe the answer, check out the link below should be some on there, alternatively take a wheel along to a wheel sales shop and get them to check out the wheels suitability for long shank wheel nuts.

 

 

Hope that helps
