fshogg Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I just bought some new Rota GTR alloys for my supe, but I have just been told that I will need new wheel bolts for them? Can I use the bolts from the standard wheels? or are they the wrong type or something? anyone had any experience with this? If I do need some new ones where can I get them from by tomorrow (saturday) and do they need to be a certain type or will any bolts from halfords fit? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Can't help with the bolts - but have you rolled rear arches ? ( I hadn't) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra matt Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 you should have new bolts with the wheels mate or are they second hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Bolts?? confused... Do you mean the wheel nuts, the stock ones with the usual washer sometimes fit aftermarket wheels, however it is hit and miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Most come with new ones. If they dont try motorworld/halfauds etc or the wheel supplier:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fshogg Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) I purchased the wheels from whifbitz, however I didn't check all the boxes that the wheels came in to see if there were any nuts/bolts, and unfortunately I haven't got access to them at the moment because they are at work! and I have arranged to get them fitted tommorrow.... do you think that motorworld/ halfords will have any that will fit or should they need to be ordered in? rolled arches- what does this involve ?

Gerry Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 rolled arches- what does this involve ? Mine (and others it turned out) fouled the rear arches (the arch hit the tyre when on bumpy ground) and it seems the only way to cure this is to have the arches rolled (or cut them off) Search Rota GTR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fshogg Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 thanks guys sorry for the n00bish questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 It might turn out that the new alloys have a chamfered seat on the fixing holes, the standard Supra ones are flat. My speedline alloys needed a full set of new wheel nuts and lockers as they were chamfered. Took me ages to sort out the locking wheel nuts, e-mailed McGuard in Germany who gave me the part number for nuts they supplied to Lexus !!
