Never heard this before in my life.

You may need to change them for longer ones though.

I used my standard wheel nuts on my alloys fine.

ahh right cheers every one i may see if i can blag the bolts off him any way lol

[spikeboybarrett]

What size steelies? with or without tyres? what are the tyres like (if any?)

[Timmy corsa B]

look in classifieds

i think there 15 inch

think about it..alloy metals are softer than steel,so if you have a hard metal against a soft metal-obvs the harder metal will wear away the softer one..its not something you HAVE to do,but is recomended.

Deff change the bolts mate, i have seen some horror stories in my time working at motor world, but in the same sense wherever you bought the wheels form a new fitting kit should have been supplied anyway.

I bought them off eBay lol how much are new bolts??

[protek]

about £25, thats what my mate payed anyway. i got my steelie nuts on

[danthemann]

he is right as the taper bolt on a steelie is slightly more narrow but on a vaux it minute so ul be fine
