   I'm looking at getting vts alloys for my furio. Will they fit? Will I need different bolts? If so which ones? Will all 4 wheels sit the same position on the car or will the back 2 sit differently?
   
   I'm curious due to reading the forums and people saying their back two wheels sit differently due to the brake drum on furios?
   
   I am sorry to post but I have scrounged the forum for answers but nobody seems to state what bolts I would need? Or where to get them?
   
   Any help is MUCH appreciated
   
   Thanks Gary.

   They will fit, if you already have alloys (flat seated bolts) on the car you don't need new bolts.
   If you have steel wheels (tapered bolts) you will need new bolts.

   Thanks for your help.

   Hubs? WTF! You need flat seated ones as I said in the previous post. I'm guessing there was supposed to be a link there somewhere.

   Haha I've just bought the car. It came with hubs. 3 days owning the car I'm banging vts alloys on it.

   Right ones.
   Hubs are what the wheels bolt onto. WTF are you on about?

    Hubcaps aren't wheels though, they are wheel trims!

    Yeah think thats what he meant, as in hubcaps go on steel wheels, they dont go on alloys...so he has steelies. :/
    
    Although I call em wheel trims cos if they were hub caps surely they'd go onto the hub if you get me lol
