Excuse my n00bishness, but how come you need these bolts?

Were you're hotwires on a Gemini originally Steve? have they got the 57 centre bore or did you need to get it machined??

Cheers bro

[DubSteve]

No not sure what the centre bore is but best thing to do is get hub-centric spacers I still need to get them lol.

You need those bolts cause they have a sleeve that fits snug in the wheel while the threadgoes in the hub

looks like we are learning new stuff.
by the way DOM your wheels look awesome too!
share the secrets!!

if the wheels are off a gem you'll need hub centric spacers. gem's centre bores are roughly 70mm. as well as the special bolts.

yeah i did some research and apparently the dragway wheels are zero offset, so looks like a no goer anyway

hmmm, might have to get back on the search for some 15" steelies...

yeah right! but ppl round here say ur crazy bro. i figured zero would be too much poke. i don't mind a bit of poke, altho i don't want cop bait. i seem to attract enough attention anyway . but still, maybe i should try some on for size!

hey steve, ive got a feeling that your rear ET isnt minus 7, im poking pretty much the same as you with an ET7 and im poking 37mm out from the guards........... not trying to diss it, its badass, but i think ET-27 isnt right.......

Ohwell thats some people got to step out of the boundaries sometimes! Some people also said that 13s wouldn't work, couldn't get enough praise at the nats

You could be right bro, however won't the GTI flares add a bit so it doesn't look that much?
