VTS wheel bolts - VTR wheel brace

[RJ303]

Just been out to put my locking nuts on which went on no probs with the wheel brace from the car, but went to check the tightness of the other bolts and the brace is a mile to big.... I bought the wheels with the bolts but didnt think that the VTS bolts had smaller heads???

[RJ303]

Anyone?

[Simon]

Not sure if it's any help

But my 03 vtr came with 17mm bolts
and my sisters 02 vtr has 19mm :detective:

Yes thats what I have on now but the wheel brace that came in my car is too big for the VTS bolts heads :n: it fits the VTR bolts that came off and also the McGard locking nuts I have on the car at the moment...

will prob be diffrent sizes,

17mm and 19 mm, wheel brace will be 19 mm

Hope this helps,

So I need to carry 2 wheel braces in case of a puncture??? :panic:

^ ^ Same as me 17mm bolts + 19mm Mcgaurds

I have a wheel brace now that has a doudle ended socket (17+19) so just swap it round for the different sizes.

[jeeves_101]

get a good socket wrench and then just carry a 17 and 19 mm bit, then you wont need 2 braces.

problem solved.

exactly what I do, halfords sell braces with multi socket bits. Just flip it around and job done:y:

[jeeves_101]

proper job in weston do a mint one for only £2.99, no sockets tho, but well worth it.

Sounds like the logical solution, where did you buy it from?

[Simon]

Think I got it from ASDA. about £5 or £6
I'm sure Halfords would do one aswell

[Wayne]

i've got a 17mm bolts on mine and have 17mm plus 19mm, 23mm and another mm.

my vtr wheel bolts look like this, sure my vts bolts looks different though no washers

EDIT: when i got my vts wheels with bolts my old wheel brace for the vtr wheels didnt fit anymore had to buy a new one

[RJ303]

Thats a VTS bolt isnt it? My VTR bolts are straight, they didnt taper like those, what are the bolts like that you have on now?

[craigy_87]
