Wobbly head bolts

[jase]

Any body had any experience of them.?

Looking for some 18" wheels for the Freelander but they are 5x114 a very rare fitment which makes them expensive.
I found out that jap car fitments are 114.3 so would I be able to get around the .3 of a mm using wobbly head bolts.?

not sure .3mm would affect much. My scooby had that fitment, and I believe the Meg 250 does as well

Iv run a few sets on 98 x 100 to 100 X 100.

Theres a lad on here who specialises in wobly bolts and spacers. richie is his username.

Just had a thought.
The Freelander has the studs in the hub and just has wheels nuts not full bolts.
Anyone know if they still do "wobbly nuts".! (Oooer)

I ran 114.3 track wheels on The 112PCD Golf with wobble bolts, they were fine and took a lot stress as you can imagine. You can get nuts too.

Get TUV approved ones and ensure the spigot is absolutely spot on.

Thanks

Most jap cars list as 114 but are actually 114.3

[Ed...]

.3 of a mm wud be lost on the tapered part of the nut mate aslong as they are tight 120nm should be fine

I thought you were considering exiting the FreeLoader and getting something sporty again?

 

[jase]

I was, but decided to keep it for now, see what happens with work and petrol prices might even keep it and sell lisa's 206
