I have fitted a set of Empi 5s (wide)on my Dormobille to replace the oe 956 steelies, nothing too difficult there, but the bolts that came with the wheels only fit the back wheels. The front wheels have disc brakes and therefore i had to attach the wheels with the nuts that held the steelies on, not a perfect scenario. So doe's anyone know how i can source the correct size nuts to go on thr front. Have spoken to Midland Wheels who told me to send them a nut so they can send the correct size, but i think i will probably need the wheel studs that the nuts fit on aswell. Not making this very clear am i ! Basically because the Empi's are a bit wider than the steelies, there is'nt much room left to tighten the nuts properly, backs are fine as the bolts are correct for the wheel. Is it just a case of putting longer studs on so that the nuts will then have more thread to purchase. Clear as mud. Advise would be appreciated. Otherwise i will have to travel up to Midland, the posting the nut option is not an option as i would not have time for the correct nut and or studs returned, because i want to take the bus away next weekend. Never a dull day owning a Bay. Cheers Col. :roll:

Thanks for that info, the studs that are on there at the mo are 50 mm, so i would assume that the 60mm would do the trick, 80mm might stick out too much. Really appreciate the quick responce would like to get them sorted tomorrow. Regards, Col.
