I have plus wheels on my Coupe but I also have a set of 4x100 PCD 18" wheels that were on the car when I bought it. They were fitted with spacers and a stud conversion, not to my liking so I removed it in order to fit the plus wheels with OE bolts.

In order to use these wheels now I need some variation bolts and they would need to be about 40-45mm long. Has anyone used variation bolts that long and where would I get some?

Available on ebay not sure about Australia. By the way 40-45 that's 5mm difference which is a lot so be sure how much you need - better more than less if anything you can trim them...

Why not go bolts to studs conversion and use nuts instead;) you could have close nuts for the 18" and open nuts for standard wheels as the studs will be too long wink

The only ones on ebay I could find are 28mm.

I dont really want to go back to studs. Open nuts with long studs would look terrible IMO. Thanks for the suggestion.
