| Assuming they are the same as the Octavia (and loads of other VAG cars), they will be M14X1.5X27 - whatever that means. A 17mm socket fits nicely.

| I have the Octavia Pegasus alloys on 16" from the Octavia Estate but I kept the standard wheel nuts/locking nuts from the origonal vRS alloys so they could well be the same? Ask a Tech ![]()

1.5 is 1.5mm pitch (the distance between each turn of the thread 27 is the length of the bolt. I can't remember if that is the threaded part or both the threaded part and the unthreaded part. Unfortunately that doesn't tell you what spanner will fit it! However, this website has a table (table 7.7) with standard spanner sizes and bolt sizes. An M14 comes out as a 17mm open spanner, or a 30mm socket (the 30mm is the external diameter of the socket). HTH ![]()
