VTS wheel bolts??

[saxojoe17]

am i right in saying that vts wheels take tapered seat wheel bolts??

cheers:y:

[Sean]

umm, my vts wheels had flat seated wheel bolts, and i still have the bolts.

but mine were deffo flat, as i needed to buy tapered ones when i got my new alloys.

vtr bolts are flat, vts wheel bolts are tapered. Vtr bolts can be used (I used them on my vts wheels for ages) but the tapered bolts make the bolts screw in a few more threads.

i asked because, i had trouble with my 205gti wheels (needing flat heads) because not enough thread was biting on the hub thus stripping bolt after bolt.... but if vts wheels take tapered then kl i guess:y:

[jeeves_101]

oh, well i have special bolts then ?!?!?!?

they have a tapered part and a flat part, tapered for the spare wheel, and flat for the vts wheels.

and my vts wheels deffo had flat seats and not tapered.

vts wheel bolts are the same as vtr bolt bolts both have flat washers

*bangs head against wall* They are not the same, for the reasons i've given. Any citroen dealer will tell you the same.:bored:

funny that because i have a vts and i know for a fact there are the same flat washered bolts!!its aftermarket alloys that take tapered bolt and you will find the part number is 540565 same as peugeot and i know this because i work for peugeot

[saxojoe17]

looking at a pair of vts wheels for sale on this site, vts wheels look like they take flat heads too, dunno wot to think??:p

[craig-d]

trust me mate the bolts are the same both bolts have a taper but have flat washers not tappered washers

[jazzsingh51]

my vts bolts have a flat head with a washer, and a taperd bit just above the middle of the bolt

Having looked into this further, there seem to be 5 different types of bolts depending on whether the car is mk1 or mk2 and which wheels you have. They all have flat washers, but some bolts are tapered and some are flat. :)

ok nice one:y: Are they all the same lenght do you know, or the tapered ones longer?

[craig-d]

as far as i am aware there are only two different types depending wheather they are 17mm haeds or 19mm heads are the dimensions for both are 12x125
