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.

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
