I acquired two wheels with new tyres for my Xantia but when fitting noticed a slight difference where the stud fastens the wheel to the hub.
The original wheels on mine were like this
The new ones are like this
The original studs are 2 inch long
Are these wheels designed to be fastened on with longer studs?

Re: Xantia wheel studs
Those are spare wheels from alloy-wheeled cars, and need to be secured with a bolt with a flat shoulder, and a washer. If you want to use them you'll need to get some new bolts....

Re: Xantia wheel studs
i agree on the type of Rim Richard although you should be able to use tapered seat bolts as the seats on those rims not anly have a flat face, but also a tapered seat,RichardW wrote:Those are spare wheels from alloy-wheeled cars, and need to be secured with a bolt with a flat shoulder, and a washer.

you might just require slightly longer bolts

Re: Xantia wheel studs
I wouldn't.
Flat faced bolts have a slight taper and a washer, a tapered bolt would shear in there

Re: Xantia wheel studs
£3.50 each from the dealer - there are 2 types listed though, not sure on the difference, or which you need....

Re: Xantia wheel studs
If you get a chance, theyre the same bolts that saxo vtr uses by the looks of it. Although i think the different part numbers are down to different lengths
