scott_d Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 I picked up my alloys today and as only two of the four have tyres i thought i would put one on to see what it looks like. Anyway i have two questions:1) Do i need to replace the bolts because they don't come through the holes as far as they do on the standard alloys2) Is there a special tool that you use to tighten the nut that wont damage the alloys cos the one i got with the jack took some of the finish off of the wheel cheers :ehh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 NO1 - I dont think so, providing they are the right offset..........., but im not sure! NO2 - Dead easy this one, cover your wheel brace in duct tape around any areas that are going to be coming into contact with your alloy, and then if it does rub, tada! No more worries!

Chrissyboy Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 you need nuts with collars on (well I did but I got them with the wheels) also if you have locking nuts make sure you use a torque wrench to tighten them, one of my locking nuts was over tightened and when it came to undoing it the key ripped through the lock and I had to have them chipped off (luckily I got my money back from Ford as they were ford nuts ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_d Posted October 12, 2002 Author Share Posted October 12, 2002 I have got washers/collers on the nuts but by the look of it they will only be going one or two threads onto the bolts! Thanks for the tape idea! the wheels have an offset of 40 so should be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
