wheel bolts
« on: 19 December 2012, 21:54:15 »
What size are the wheel bolts for the Omega ???

I'm thinking of getting a set of these but they come in varying sizes ...

Most recent Peugeots have them as standard.
If you can root around in the boot of a scrap Pug you'll find them for nothing.
They do make fitting a big heavy alloy wheel much easier.

But when/why do you have to lift it onto the hub? Surely you lift the car on the jack till the hub & wheel centre line up .....  :-\


My R Class has one in the 'boot'  ;)

Surely that's just a different sort of messing about? It's not the lifting of the wheel, but aligning it with the bolt holes.
