Lug bolt thread size
« on: November 26, 2018, 20:28:55 »
Does anyone know the correct size of the lug bolts?  I thought they were M14 x 2.0 mm, but the tap doesn't mesh with the bolts.

Hi,
the lenghts of the bolts for steel and aluminium rims are different: M 12 x 1,5 x 20 for steel and M 12 x 1,5 x 30 for aluminium rims, both ball bund bolts.
