Wheel bolts taper Vs 'ball seat'

[StratosFearXX]

That's a taper bolt right?

Son's new MK4 Caddy has some dodgy alloys with very stretched tyres, as a 26 years old that hasn't passed his test yet we're going to put the steelies back on. Think they need radius bolts, 17 plate MK4 Caddy.

I believe genuine vw wheels use standard and aftermarket alloys need tapered most of the time

 

[Pauly]

I would agree, AFAIK all VW steel and alloy wheels use radius bolts and the one pictured is tapered

 

[Sasquatch]

Aye, my aftermarket alloys are tapered but my spare is VW so have a radiused set for that.

Thank you everyone

Reviving this thread as it came up when I searched for some reassurance.

For supermetal trident alloys that should take a standard wheel bolt. Would these be compatible:

20x BLACK WHEEL BOLTS - VW TRANSPORTER T4 T5 T6 (OE STYLE) ALLOY STEEL NUT LUG | eBay UK

Suitable for all Volkswagen Transporter T4, T5 and T6 models (1990 - present). They have a tough black zinc plated finish that looks great too. Includes a set of 20 bolts. These bolts feature the dished top design as used with most performance wheels and have the correct 19mm hex head.
