3200/4200 Wheel bolts question

[RKCC]

Hi All,

Does anybody know if I'll need front and rear 4200 wheel bolts for fitting Assetto Corsa wheels to my 3200 GT?
I know the rear is slightly wider so but I am unsure whether I can reuse the 3200 front bolts.

Any help appreciated.

Almost sure you need longer ones.

I've just fitted the AC/4200 wheels to my 3200 and the bolts are different front and back.

Cheers

Thanks

Was there any difference in how it drives with the wider rear wheels?

Can't say I noticed anything dramatic. Maybe if I was hanging it out sideways on a track there would be, but nothing on the open road!

IIRC the fronts are 8" wide and the rears 9.5". I believe this is the same for every model from 3200 to GS. All 3200 &4200 wheels are 18" diameter, the GS is 19" as standard. I don't believe AC wheels are any wider than original 3200 wheels, but the bolts for the rear wheels are definitely different.

Yea I know about the bolts MAF, It's because the 4200 wheels have narrower center castings
(cheaper!)

But apart from that and the styling,I'm sure there exactly the same as 3200 wheels
