	im just interested in daveyLC's safer way of doing it.
fazza	posted on 4th Apr 09 at 10:54
	i have 6mm on mine and it only just clears the caliper. dont want to go any more as there et42 already
Nic Barnes	posted on 4th Apr 09 at 10:53
	i dont know the actual mm of them i had a mate skiim them down until they just cleared the caliper with the spoke of the wheel
fazza	posted on 4th Apr 09 at 10:51
	same problem as me then. what size spacers do you use?
Nic Barnes	posted on 4th Apr 09 at 10:50
	yes, have to run spacers or the speedlines catch the caliper
fazza	posted on 4th Apr 09 at 10:49
	do you run spacers nic? i know you runs the same brakes as me

Na max you can go with standard bolts is 3mm id say didnt reliase that.. but never used them for corsa. only Vw's- and they can take up to 8mm. Halfords sell them anyway!

	U2U Daniel_corsa off here, he gave me a link to a place that sells just about every wheel bolt imaginable. Stupid me deleted it by accident otherwise i'd of posted it. Hope that helps. :thumbs:

	im sure motorworld / other factors do longer wheel bolts, if not ebay some - i would get some examples but im at scholl and ebay is blocked
fazza	posted on 3rd Apr 09 at 09:53
	im using 2 piece discs with my 4 pots and i think the discs are slighter thicker than standard discs so the wheel bolts sre only in by a couple threads

	i've got 5mm spacers on the front, just went to local parts place they stocked longer bolts :)
