Longer Wheel Bolts: OZ SL 18x8 and Stoptech 332 Kit. I NEED longer wheel bolts
I am currently running BBS Wheel bolts, but still do not have enough thread in the hub. I was wondering what size I need and How much they are for a set of 20 total. TIA!

What's the current shank length?
I'm not sure what you mean by "BBS wheel bolts", they use a cone seat typically only 30mm, while OZ SL's use a ball seat and 36mm length.

Anyone ever have a different length in the front vs. rear? I did
I Bought the car with OZ Superleggera III's and went to put them on, and when I put on the front wheel I had different length bolts, but 10 of each. The longer ones bound up on the front,but spin freely on the rear. Any ideas as to why? the off-set is the same for all the wheels. Only thing I can think of is the owner wanted the absolute longest bolt at each corner for even more security/strength.

did they have different brakes? the rotor design could
make you need a longer bolt.

I don't understand. I have Stoptech 332 kit and OZ SL 18x8's, no issues.
I use the wheel bolts supplied with my wheels. Why exactly are you not using the bolts supplied with the wheels? <confused>

sometimes they don't get it right.
i got a set of wheels from an advertiser here on AW.com. the bolts hooked up to the hub, but only about 3-4 turns, which i think is too little.
i told them, and specifically mentioned the length of bolts they sent me and the length i thought was appropriate. <b>they proceeded to send me the same bolts that they did the first time.</b>
i bought bolts locally.
