    I have got a mk 2 16v from Cyprus with mod sport wheels, not sure if original from factory, but my bolts are more like M10 a standard 12.5 bolt won't go through the bolt holes in wheels, so I am wondering what hubs it is wearing. Other problem is one bolthole has stripped a thread, anyone else come across this scenario?

    Problem solved, GSF gave me wrong size bolt so I thought the ones on it were smaller that standard. Realised when I bought some second hand bolts of ebay that fitted the hubs. So just need to fit my new hub and bearing then on with the refurbishment RAs
