Different wheel bolts for snows/steel rims?
Listers:
I'm heading to the fatherland for three weeks of work....
When I get back, I'll probably want to take off the summer tires
on the alloy rims, and put on the snows with steel rims.
I remember reading somewhere that the bottom of the bolt head for
a alloy rim is rounded, and bolts for steel rims are tapered...
Should I buy new 17mm wheel bolts for the steel rims? Will
17mm bolts for VW steel rims fit my Coupe Q?
I'll be unsubbing tonight due to the volume of e-mail on the list,
so please send responses directly after that.
Thanks!
