I have a 79 SA. Well i just got my new Konig rewinds today. i went out to test fit before i mount any tires. the wheels are 15x7 with 4 on 110 and +20 offset, with 73.1mm bore. i have hub rings coming to center the wheel, should be here tommorow.

here is my problem. i tried using the old wheel bolts off my SA and they are way to LONG. if i push the bolt through the wheel you can see like 3/8 to 1/2 of the bolts shoulder before the thread starts so they dont tighten up. im new to this so what are my options. i am wanting to get something that i dont have to order, hopfully get somthing in town that way i can get these things on this weekend.

thanks for any advice

I had the exact opposite problem. I needed the lug bots that you have as my wheels were too thick for the stock ones. I had to order the 2.25 studs from pineapple racing, mainly because I wanted to switch to lug studs instead of bolts for ease of mounting.
But I believe if you go to an auto parts store and get the wheel studs for an 81-85 they are shorter, and should get you going. Or again Pineapple Racing has them for cheap, and fast shipping. I know that even when I asked Auto Zone for the 79-80 long bolts, they were the same short ones that I had.

Well About 5:15 this morning i was leaving for work and as i backed out i saw the 81 parts car, i keep forgetting i have that thing. Well i got the idea and stopped and pulled one of the bolts off. its SHORT YES!! just like Tracer said 81 and newer have shorter bolts and it will work. i will just pull those off and put my old wheels on there with the longer bolts.

 

you forgot about your parts car! lol Glad you got the issue fixed!

 

Hey!!! There aint going to be any thing left of the 81 when we get done with it!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hey its ok i am putting my old wheels from the sa on there. We will call it up grading the parts car LOL
