Hi all,

I have four 15mm hubcentric slip on spacers lying around and want to fit them onto my S3. I need to get some extended wheel nuts and a set of locking ones too. Does anyone know what size and type I need? A link from eBay would be GREAT if possible!

Thanks
 
Standard bolts are 17mm, so would suggest getting 32mm at a min (17+15). Cannot remember the type needed at the moment. I have 15mm spacers all round on my Saloon and am running 45mm bolts which go all the way to the back of the hub.
 
See. Now I'm worried. Some people have told me the standard length is 27mm.... lol

I might have to remove a bolt and check myself just to be 100%!

Actually I got the wrong, 17mm is the Hex / head size. 27mm is the length. Apologies :(

as long as your bolts are 15mm longer than stock you will be fine with 15mm spacers.
 
Also, attached is a photo of the type you need, forget the name. Left is a McGard locking nut and right is a standard 45mm bolt.

Okay. So I should just buy 16 of these cheap bolts, then get a branded set of locking wheel nuts?

Thanks very much for your help mate. Cleared it up so well!

Locking wheel nuts like the link below?

Thats basically what I did :)

The locking bolts you have linked are the correct fitment but have no idea if they are any good or not.
