I need some aftermarket wheels bolts and locking wheels nuts. I've got the alloy wheels with 20mm spacers so thats why I wanted the right alloy wheel bolts. I've seen some with the details below.
These bolts have the following dimensions:
Head Size - 19mm Hex
Thread Length - 26mm
Thread Pitch - 1.25mm
Bolt Diameter - M12
Bolt Seat - 60deg Taper

As long as your alloys are tapered then it should be ok. Might want to check the length though, 26mm with 20mm spacers sounds very short.
Remember to bear in mind, you have the width of the alloy, the spacer then the hub itself. Might be worth measuring how long a thread you need.

yeh 6mm for the hub and alloy isnt enough. No way the alloy is less than 6mm!

I understand abit more about the bolts now. The alloy wheels I look at mainly and the aftermarket ones are taper ones.
The spacers are 20mm so the thread will be taken 20mm right away.
So basicly I will need 40mm thread to 50mm thread?
How deep do the thread go inside the hubs on the front and back?
thanks
