   Hello ,i own a citroen Saxo 1.4 Exlusive, and the wheels are 4 bolts, i have bought some VTR alloys (4 studs), and thinking will i need special bolts etc? because i have read some posts about flat bolts or the other ones?? thanks, or will they just go straight on??
   the sizes ar 4 x 108 aswell, same as my old wheels. just worried about bolts?... thanks!!

   Are your old wheels standard steel ones? If so you'll need VTR wheel bolts, which i think are tapered.
   Dont use steel wheel bolts for the alloys. Because if they are wrong, they wont hold your wheels on properly!.

   wheels will go straight on
   
   there are two different types of vtr bolt and wheel, just fitting wise, ive bought an odd vtr wheel from ebay before and realised it was different to others as it was tapered.
   
   buy the alloys and see which ones you need, you maybe able to use the same bolts on them that you do with the steelies. after all spare wheel on a vtr is steel, so the bolts will fit that
