    Lug bolt length for replica wheels?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I am purchasing B5 RS4 replica wheels with a 35 mm offset from OEWheelsllc for this summer and I was wondering what length lug bolts I needed for them. I have heard that many aftermarket replica wheels use conical seats instead of ball seats. Would this be the case for my wheels?

    My car is a B5 A4 that currently has the OEM fat five wheels on.

    I would assume that the vendor would provide the exact hardware needed (we do for free, but I can't speak for anyone else) to ensure a correct fitment. Most aftermarket wheels use conical seats for reference.

    I know the tirerack includes these things in wheel orders, unfortunately the only wheel I would consider from there that is in my budget right now would be the Bremmer Kraft BR05. However this is not available until the end of April which is just too late for a summer tire wheel..

    Does anyone have experience with Bremmer Kraft wheels?

    So I called the distributor and they told me the length of the entire bolt was 1.5 inches which works out to basically 38mm. He said the bolts should be the same length as OEM audi wheels and so if I plan to install spacers would I just add spacer width to stock bolt length and get a set at that length?

    That is correct. And just for reference, stock bolt dimensions are 14mm x 1.5mm x 28mm. The 28mm is the length of thread, so when you order new bolts, just add the spacer width to the 28 and that will be the length to order. For example, a 8mm spacer would require a 36mm bolt.

    Why not consider our VMR replicas? They are designed to reuse the factory Audi lug bolts, and factory Audi center caps.

    Too expensive for me when I'm still on college and they only come in 18" and up which means I would need a mew set of shocks and springs for the correct looking gap. Believe me, if I had the $$ I would consider them...

    Thanks for the specs. That's what i needed to know was thread length because they only knew the length of the whole bolt, which was 38mm
