    Sorry if this is an obvious question but I currently have a R50 with 17" R53 alloys fitted.
    Are the wheel bolts the same (length) for all sizes of alloys on the R50? i.e. if I changed to 15 or 16s would I need to get new (shorter?) bolts?

    Thanks!

    Bolts are the same. They were only different for the steel wheels.
