urgent little question

[330Purplefrenzy]

hey guys, short note.

if you are changing from oem to after market reps, do you change the bolts as well? if so get new set from BM or after market bolts as well? thanks!!

[jurka]

if you change the bolts then I would suggest hubs also

[MistaSmiff]

You would normally be supplied with a set of new bolts with the alloys.

Buggered....they didn't they said the old one would works just fine... = = any solution? just get some new one from BM? ...oh dear...

OEM should be fine as long as you are not using spacers etc and the alloys are E46 fitment.

I used my OEM bolts and lockers on my previous LM replicas, had no problems at all.

+2 why would you change the hubs? wheel bolts are readly availble from any wheel shop, normall about £20 for a set.

For one it would get rather expensive I would have thought.

Secondly no one (apart from you) would even think of such an idea :D

You know I m only joking, but why change bolts then? Bolts are bolts or is it something inside ?

Cos some wheels use different type of bolts (conical, spherical), wheels can also use different length bolts (i.e. there wont be enough thread holding the wheel on).

(conical, spherical).

Hey am I riding propa bolts then? :eek: :eek: :eek: where is a bolt manual???

you can find out from the wheel manufacturer what size/shape bolts you should be using I think. you haven't crashed yet so should be ok!!!

You probably are ok if your wheels hasnt decided to go a different direction then your car.

The bolt manual is up your arse, first left, straight on and then to the right :D

My front wheels are sometimes looking different direction(not in line with the car), but only then I turn steering wheel. rear are so passive-they always stay straight. :(

How do you download the manual from there...?:confused:

Roll your sleeve up stick your hand in there and follow the directions, if you get lost you can always ask one of the batty boys to have a look for you :D

Sonny, If you got the wheel of the car and just insert the bolt into wheel, will you see is the Bolt correct or not?
