Hi there, this is more for those who have fit japanese wheels to a early german car.
Im in a pickle with how to mount my wheels to the car as the bolts i need are meant to have a sleeve insert sort of thing to keep them from moving around when mounted and as far as i know there are no bolts that have the sleeve to do that. any help?
But no really, I like to look distinguished when I step out of the car. People are like, "wonder what he does for living."
I just reply, "your daughter, sir." - some dude on stanceworks
I had fixed half the broken crap but that just meant it was still halfway inoperable

When you say jap wheels what do you mean. 4x100 or 4x114 or 5x100 or 5x114 or one of the other sizes?
What pcd is the car?

Guessing you mean you need conical/after market bolts rather then oem/ball seats then?

Shanked wheel bolts are what i need, thats what the sleeve i was talking about is

If I've understood correctly...
You either have to convert your hub to studs & use shanked / sleeved nuts
or
get shanked nuts & locktite a threaded section into them
or
Find somewhere to supply these (speedshack in the UK have them). They call them a sleeve bolt.
