Yep if the bolts are too long they potrude to far into the rear drum and ouch! Yes the seating or 'taper' of the nut is usually different for alloys, could possibly damage the alloy with the wrong taper and they are more likely to come loose! | |

a guy in a garage once told me that steel nuts will corrode the alloy,and could eventually weld the wheel to the bolts :( | |

ul need new nuts as most alloy nuts/bolts come with a 60 degree seating. | |

Also watch out if you get ones that are too big, they may foul something important like the braking system! | |

you may need longer nuts than the ones you have now. Also, depending on the age of your car, you might rather some nice new shiny ones to replace your rusty ones. | |

Do alloy wheels need special wheel nuts? |
