I've picked up a full set of 13x5.5" Wolfrace slotmags for the Ax, but they've come with wheel nuts, not bolts, so does anyone in RR land know what sort of taper/washer I'd need on the bolts to fit these? (I am assuming they will go on, I've not tried them yet!) Have a mock up for looking:  |

I'm guessing they are meant to take flat bolts so you could get a washer to convert from flat to taper making sure your bolts are the correct length or just convert it to studs with correct flat nuts i use www.mistertee.co.uk/2.html which seem really good but have not ordered from him yet |

it's not the holes that are rotten it's the metal around them

I thought AX wheels had three holes?

Mister T (above) will sort you out. He did the same for me when I rocked slots on the Laurel.

I also thought these used flat seat bolts? Have you tried a 106/saxo alloy wheel bolt for size? they might need a sleeve machining up, or some spigot rings to center the wheel, though

Wolfrace uses a sleeved nut/bolt with a seperate washer with 2 different tapers (if that is the correct way of saying it  ) |

Here are some pictures of them:    The washer is removable on most of the nuts, but not all. The bolts I have on the car currently are these:  And I also have a set of Vtr bolts like these:  Neither of which are any use as far as I can see. |

Well I think I'll mock them up for fit on the car before I do anything else, but I'm told these are the RWD offset, so hopefully it shouldn't be far off (I'm running et25 on it at the moment)

You need to measure the size of the bolt hole, will be 7/16" or whatever (measure from the mounting face side). You'll then need sleeve bolts of that size, with what looks like a 30 degree taper washer. Don't listen to the post above, radius bolts don't work on taper seats.

It's academic now anyway, there isn't enough back space on them for the front callipers, even with a 10mm spacer so it'll be back to the drawing board. It's a shame because they looked ace:  Anyone want some 4x108 slotmags? |
