I bought a pair of 5mm eibach wheel spacers recently. Do you think I will be ok using these with the standard vw wheel bolts ?.

Well, officially - No. You'd need 5 mm longer bolts. But, at the same time, my locking bolts are about 5 mm too short compared to my regular bolts.

I figured that there's only one short bolt per wheel, so it'll be fine.

Not really helpful then eh!

*Sorry*

Hey Alex

My locking wheel bolts are about 5mm longer than the standard bolts :D .
I wonder what other VW models use longer wheel bolts then, mk2 golf perhaps ?.
