Question VTR Alloys on 1.1 Forte

Just been trying to fit these on my saxo but hasnt been going to well.

Just tried to fit the nearside VTR alloy on and found it to be a VERY snug fit onto the hub, The rear's seem to go on fine though?!? I hope the other front alloy goes on better. I assume VTR Alloys do directly fit on a 1.1 Forte Mk2?

The alloys on it were some aftermarket ones and i assume had shorter wheel nuts? as they seem to only turn alil way before they are tight

Are the VTR wheel nuts 35mm long? I currently have 25mm ones.

Also when can I get these? Halfords? Motor spares shop? I just need some urgently!!!

Thanks Guys =]

VTR alloys should be a straight fit pal... You do need the bolts to fit though, Halfords don't do a set only locking nuts.. Cost you about £35 from there... Better off looking on eBay, or have a browse in the for sale section.

you need to have about 7 full turns on the wheel bolts. the standard vtr bolts are 35mm long and 23-25mm of that goes into the hub.

they should be a straight fit aslong as you dont have a 3 stud hub.
i have a few bolts froma vtr laying around if you wanted to try one, PM me?

the VTR alloys as said, will for certain fit onto your car, that i can guarantee.... you'll need to have flat seated bolts though, not the tapered ones... easily found on ebay....

Thanks for the reply guys.

Could someone post a picture of one or ebay link as I cant find them anywhere?!?

Kinda need to get them today as the insurance only allows the vtr alloys not the aftermarket ones. I want to Drive!!!

Criteria: 35mm long
Flat Head (not tapered)

Anyone think of a shop I can buy these. Breakers? Motor Spares?

Thanks
