We still try to carry most of our original catalog too!

There is no problem to remove bolt, or i don't understand what You are saying... The thing is that maximum bolt head which fits is ~19mm outside diameter.

Any luck with this? It would make your wheel bolt search very easy if so!

No, I didn't check; was busy and forgot. But just to verify (sorry for my English) what is a non-impact socket ? Is this one :



Socket outer diameter for bolt is ~12 mm



And my wheel inset is about 20mm diameter

If you can fit a standard 17mm socket in the hole of your wheel you wil be able to switch to standard stlye lugs as posted above and save a ton of money. Sockets designed for air powered impact guns are a bit thicker than a standard 17mm socket designed for a standard ratchet. So, if you have a 17mm socket and it fits in that hole, you can use the bolts posted above.

Standard style lugs (with 17mm heads)as posted above doesn't fits into hole of the wheel because of "skirt". I have tried that.

.... jaaaa... when I was looking for new wheels I didn't pay attention at all to bolts type. And now I see it becomes a big problem.
