yes they are 1.5 x12mm which funnily enough i believe is a ford bolt fitment so theres plenty of lenght options available, I think i paid about 28 for my long set with floating washer seats

Alloy wheels now fitted!  However another potential problem.  Front wheels are great but the rears are where the prob is.  The centre of the hub is not long enough to locate into the centre bore on the wheel could there be any probs here for example wheel nuts breaking!

my dad ran a similar sized car for years with 1" spacers that had no lug location just studs and that was fine with 5 adults on lots of long journeys so should be fine due the low load, however you get proper german style TUV alloy spacers that have the hub machined in them for extra security if yoiur worried and woudl push your wheels out given better clearance etc

as meuton says, there isn't a problem. i have 5mm spacers on the rear so the wheels don't fit on the centre hub, just remember to tighten them up diagonally so the wheels centre on the shamfer of the wheel bolts. where are the pics :D  :D

Thanks for replys you have put my mind at rest.  Can't fit posh German spacers cos the wheels are already in line with wheel arch!  I have only fitted two at the mo when they are all fitted I shall post some pics!

Alloys fitted!  However the backs do slightly rub so going to get some 5mm spacers but do you think there is enough room as they are already close to the arches!

Wheels No bigger than 13" rims 5" wide (possibly 5.5" with the right back spacing)

Tyres wise Ive got 185/55/13's and had to roll the arches on mine and as you can see its tight so not much more than this I would think-(unless you are going to put flared arches on it-

What would the correct size wheel centres be for my alloys, I have measured the centre bore and it is 57.71mm would a 60mm fit?
