Right. First of all I'm either careless, a tool or a careless tool.
Back in Feb I bought a new set of wheels for my CL and along with them, a new set of wheel bolts. Actually two new sets, one was 5mm too long so they were returned and a new set bought. Fine, they work lovely and the wheels look good.
I'm now getting the car back tomorrow and I've had a horrid thought. I have the full size light alloy spare wheel, but the bolts I have on the car now are the wrong length (too short) and I can't find my originals. So I need 5 x whatever length bolts to keep in the boot in the toolkit, if I ever have to fit the spare. Considering the last time this happened I'm not keen on going out without a spare, driving on 3 wheels ain't fun!
So, fellow 215 owners, what please is the correct length wheel bolt for the standard 5 spoke 18" alloy wheel please? If anyone out there has this wheel fitted to their 215, please can you crack one off (ooer) and measure for me, as I'd like to order them directly.
