I've picked up some wheel spacers to resolve my rear tires rubbing on the inner fender. I've searched for some 1/4 inch longer lug bolts with no luck. Anyone know where to find these?

Anyone know where to find these? A quarter inch longer than what? Which wheels are you running? Having information like that enables us to give you a better answer. The Cap'n |

oops, my mistake...
I have 4 lug Mahles. I'm looking for 14mm x 1.5 with a 43mm or close shank with the OEM ball seat. Black bolts are prefered, if available. There appears to be various types of ball seat bolts, R12, R13 and R14. Anyone know which will fit these wheels? |

Just to answer my own question for future reference.
Our ball seats are R14. I found some with various lengths at RadUSADirect. They typically sell in 20 bolt boxes, but I was able to get just 8 with a phone call, great service. Rad Direct |

Hey Les! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
What size tires are you running in back? Stock wheels or some different offset? |

I'm a huge, huge, huge, huge (get the point yet?) fan of at least getting the screw in studs, it makes the wheels amazingly easier to get on. Just my $0.02, and I know you already got what you're looking for, but it's totally worth it if you do work on your car (or like the people who do (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)).

Hi Scott I picked up some Yokohama S-drives in 205/55-15 and they are super fat. Combined with my negative camber, they would rub the inner fender wall in the rear. The quarter inch spacers I added are just right. They are mounted on OEM Mahles. |
