Hi Guys,
Is there a difference between the length of bolts and studs on a VW coach and a VW Caravelle 1987, 2.1 L ? (Standard bolts and Nuts)
A kind person was kind enough to donate me his coach rims. See the image. When I tried to fit them on my car the Bolts and Nuts seemed to be short.
They wouldn´t screw in more than a cm. I know I can buy longer bolts for the front wheel. What do I do with the rear wheels where the studs are shorter.
Are there special bolts and nuts available to resolve this problem?

Re: Nuts and Bolts original coach rims
Will I have to change the studs at the rear or perhaps nuts are available that would secure the coach rims safely on the original studs.

Re: Nuts and Bolts original coach rims
Thank you Guys for the tips. The tires are now mounted on the car. I got hold of bolts at Biltema, a set of 10 for Kr.139 and nuts at Dekkmann, a set of 10 for Kr.280. A total of Kr.419. Not bad. All well.

Only Møller had them in stock, and they wanted 75nok! Per nut! In total front and back 1500,-!
So dont trow away the old ones!

No way I am throwing my old nuts and bolts. You should have tried at Mekonomen.
I think they have the nuts for steel wheels at NOK 30 each.
