wheel bolt length... and seating surface

[Louis-Alain Richard]

I will ring for a warning I am sure everybody here is aware, but anyway


Audi and VW use wheel bolts, right, but the seating surface is ball-seat, as opposed to every other manufacturer (at least here in NA) which use cone-seat bolts-nuts.
So, in addition to bolt length, you must be careful about the shape of the wheel/bolts/lock/nut you buy for your VAG product.

>When I have access later on, I can measure the lug bolts I have, but I don't have access to them right now.
>I believe the wheel bolts are 17mm hex, M14 x 1.50mm thread pattern, right?
