Yep. If aftermarket wheel, make sure to get the conical seat bolt.

Yes that looks right, since you are staying with OEM wheels, the longer bolts

need to be "ball" or "rounded" seat. ECS has a good page explaining all this at the link below.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/HR/support/how_to_mesure.html">http://www.ecstuning.com/HR/support/how_to_mesure.html</a</li></ul>
