Default Yes, longer bolts should have come with the wheels. This has been happening a LOT lately.

I've sold quite a few sets of lugs this week for Audis...was there a blowout on Ebay or something? I don't mind, just curious about all these wheels that are floating around that are being sold without proper hardware. Please tell me that they at least came with the hub rings... if not you'll need those too.

We sell the proper bolts for $2 each, rings for $5 each, wheel lock set to go with them for $29.95/set. Just give me a call should you need them.

RAD makes some sweet locks. I use them on my CHs.

5 turns till they start grabbing the wheel. That's a good measure based on TireRack stuff
