Spacers - What Nuts!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello All.... new here but had my van for about 4 years.

I want to fit Porsche Twists. I've got the wheels.... I've got the Spacers/Adapters...so far so good!

My query: The spacers have a "flat" bottom at the bottom of the hole where the nut/bolt goes. But my nuts/bolts are tapered and I am worried that there will not be enough "metal on metal".... this reads so wrong!

I went to my local Fastener Shop to look at getting normal Nuts and Bolts...but it I get these, I can't het a socket in the hole.

I'll post pics as soon as I read how to..... but any thoughts would be really useful.

Many Thanks

	They are designed to run the standard bolts they aren't flat
