polo gt bolts help please

Post by MTB »

:D Hi all, i have just purchased a set of 17" tsw rocket 5 alloys for my 55 plate polo gt, what i need to know is would it be ok to use my standard 16" alloy bolts?. Usually when i purchase a set of alloys its common sense to purchase the proper bolts from a wheel shop. The guy that sold me them said volkswagen used the standard polo bolts for fitment of the 17s and they where fine, im confused now, please help, thx all :D .

They'll be fine, unless the TSWs are some weird size.

If not jsut purchase some off eBay, they're dead cheap

I can't be 100% sure but put it this way, if I was buying the alloys I wouldn't consider to worry for a moment about the bolts at all.

I couldn't recommend you bolts because it would depend on what was wrong with them, i.e too wide or long, so it would be different per case.

I wouldn't worry about it though mate........... they'll fit
