Black wheel bolts and Mcgard Locks

I have just ordered some black 12mm Eibach spacers, but need 16 longer wheel bolts and 4 longer Mcgard locks, can anyone please suggest the best place to get these. EBay?

Bolts are M14 x 1.25, need at least 39mm long.

Any links would be great, thanks.

Thanks mate, the bolts look perfect, but will probably go Mcgard on the locks for extra security...

The bolts are what I fitted on my car.
As for the lockers, i put these on after having to have nut's welded to my Mcgard bolts due to them being over torqued by the dealer & not being able to remove them from the car.

Hi there, my spacers are 12mm all round. After lots of searching I found the right ones, these are the ones you need....

Thanks, I ordered exactly the same thread and head but 47mm length as recommended by another member who went the same size spacer.

The bolts are 43mm so should be ok I hope....

Cheers

Hi mate, got those 43mm wheel bolts and some Mcgard locks that are 47mm long, do you think as they are 4mm longer it will be an issue with 12mm spacers?

Thanks

On 12 & 15mm spacers i had 43mm bolts which gave me no problems.
When I changed things are & put only 6mm spacers on the car with the 43mm bolts. This caused an issue with the rear wheels (rubbing from the internal hub - could be handbrake mechanism).
Only advice is fit them & drive around the block slowly. If you have any strange noises coming from the wheels you know you have an issue

Fitted the Eibach spacers today, 12mm all round and they look great.

Quite chuffed.

Next up is a remap or tuning box, starting my research into which one tomorrow...
