   Ive recently bought new alloys.. (Theyre Fox 15" 4 stud multispoke) and when attempting to put them on i came across this problem:
   
   
   
   Top one is what the new alloys came with, the bottom one is what was on my orginal VTR alloys (as im sure you all know)
   
   My query is i guess, can i use the VTR bolts to put the new alloys on? Or would i have to buy ones that fit the new alloys specifically as theyre both a bit different? Or just new bolts in general? Like these: clicky
   
   Sorry for being a noob, but i dont want to be wasting any unnessary money
   
   thanks!

   the top ones are cars with studs, you probably need new ones as there tapered and vtr are flat washer type

   You just need aftermarket wheel bolts.....go to any wheel shop, halfords etc etc.

    Yeah the only differences will be length, and how the bolt is designed to 'seat' on the alloy. Hence flat and tapered
    Hope you sorted it.
