has anyone tried to put sa wheels on an fb? and did sa's come with studs rather than lug bolts?

 

SA and FB have the same lug pattern. i am swapping some SA wheels onto my DD FB as soon as im physically able to. they are just like FB, they have lug bolts.

to do this though, you HAVE TO use the SA lug bolts. why? the center of the SA wheels are thicker and the FB lugs wont work.

 

...except GSL-SEs, which have a different bolt pattern and use lug nuts, not bolts.

 

correct. i was assuming he knew the difference between the 4x110 and 4x114 models. my bad

 

anybody know where to get a full set of sa lug bolts? ill have to go to studs otherwise, local parts house dosnt have anything thatll work (big suprise, right?)

 

Volkswagen lugnuts are the same thread count, atleast ones off of Sciroccos and MK1/2 golfs are.

 

try the for sale/wanted section for teh lug bolts. they are physically longer. i'm gathering a set as we speak so that i may use the set of SA wheels if i so choose.

 

Black dragon has them for like $3 or 4 a piece

 

if you take a stock lug bolt to any automotive store they should be able to get you the longer ones. i had to do this with my first FB to install some BBS wheels. the ones i used came off some old VW. they were the same except longer and black. the heads where you mount a wrench was smaller, but the flare where it contacts the wheel wa sthe same size.

id say make a thread in FS section. if you cant find anything, take this as an opportunity to change to lug nuts. you can do the lug nut swap for about $20-$30
