Part number 18018BC would be the correct VW replacement bolt in black, go for it! Just a standard 17mm hex bolt like OEM but black won't require something like the OEM plastic cap to blend in a little better.Hey flipflp what's your take on Gorilla 18018BC ball seat lugs for a new set of Neuspeed Rse10 hyperblack wheels? I'm looking for new lug bolts for my new wheels. Anyone have hyperblack wheels from Neuspeed? Do you use chrome lug bolts or black or black chrome? Pics?
I have never heard of them, but it looks like they provide some specs that get you close to a recommendation:So i'm gonna be buying new wheels and tires soon.
I'm planning on going with Option Labs R716s but I don't know exactly what lug nuts to get.
I've never seen it measured. Basically if the bolt is so long that it sticks out of the back of the hub and can contact something that is very bad. Threads not engaged in the hub are excess since they aren't taking any load, so you try to run just what the application needs which is hard to measure, so most installers use 7-9 turns on the bolt before final torque as correct. I usually run a 30mm length bolt on an aftermarket wheel which is fine with no spacer. OEM bolts are 27mm (below the seat).how much extra thread can I have on a lug bolt for.our cars?
I think oem is 17mm shank, no?
would 27mm work? or what will?
trying to anticipate good fit for aftermarket wheels, which appear a little thicker than oem....and a little more thread makes.bolts a little easier to work with, esp frequent changes.
thanks
Shouldn't be an issue, just spin your wheels in the air to check for interference. There isn't a lot behind the hubs on our cars so you shouldn't have problems with only a few MMs.
Where this stuff is/was super critical is on cars with hat-in-rotor parking brake setups like older Mercedes. A few MMs would make contact with brake components directly behind the hub, and a few MMs too short and you'd have bolts break. Absolute nightmare cars to put aftermarket wheels on for the dumbest reason.
Great, Thanks. I’ll report back if I have an issue.Shouldn't be an issue, just spin your wheels in the air to check for interference. There isn't a lot behind the hubs on our cars so you shouldn't have problems with only a few MMs.
