Default wheels bolts

Seems like a have not a small problem: originally on Audi V8 wheels is used M14x1.5x27mm bolts. But I would like to find 10mm with longer thread because of spacers. And what I see on the market till now - this is not an easy thing !..... Can anybody suggest anything ?

I don't think Tire Rack ships to where you're located!

Blast beat me to it! Indeed we can get any lug size you need, more or less. The size and pitch is the same as older make VW's so you really luck out. Click here for a wide selection of wheel lugs from 27 to 55mm!! We came onto the scene so many years ago for wheel, tire and brake conversions and packages for older Audi's and VW's. We still try to carry most of our original catalog too!

Actually I didn't mention that length is not the only problem ....
The head ! I can't find the bolts with head outer diameter 19mm.
The spanner has to go not around head, but inside. I think to describe this in proper way I should use word 'inner' head or something like that.
But I hope that from photos is easy to understand

Ok I see the problem. Does a 17mm socket fit in the hole of the wheel? Try a non-impact socket as their side walls are skinnier.

it looks like a standard 19mm allen there's too much shadow obscuring the inside of the bolt. If so take a bolt head and insert it, and double nut it and use a wrench on the inner nut to remove it.
