adesignercallednick Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Hi Guys,having some BBS RC 321 alloys refurbed for my lupo - do you know if the bolts that I'm already using with my standard alloys are long enough? Or do I need to get some different ones for the BBS?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Suck em and see. A good rule of thumb is that you need at least 8 full turns of thread in the hubs, so poke one thru the wheel and see how much thread sticks out the back. It will need to have more than that poking out as the thread in the hubs may start a couple of mm in.or fit one and count the turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carrera-gt Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 The only other thing to check is the, wheel to bolt fit, there are two kinds tapered and hemispherical be sure you have the correct ones for the BBS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Another way to check the threads is the amount sticking out the back to bolt to the hub, should match the dia. of the threaded section of the bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
