No they are not OK to use. Your standard bolts are of a ‘dome’ type, most OEM’s use these. The aftermarket wheels use a ‘cone’ type. You need to get longer cone type bolts for your new wheels. I personally know of wheels falling off by using the incorrect types. Don’t risk it.

If I was to have a for sale ad with the title - Winter Tyres - England, what do you think would be the first question I got asked? Im on the Scottish Border. You could be 5 miles from me. Or 350.

Finally got myself the V8 BMW M3 I’d been promising myself for the last 3 years. I do miss the S3 sometimes, I learnt a lot from it and enjoyed constantly upgrading and spannering on it. Everytime I log in on here I hope to see it pop up with a thread. Although it failed its last MOT on...
