I'm sorry...I can't help you anymore...>>
Please re-read my previous post, or find someone who knows what they are doing here. Please put your stock wheels and bolts back on before you hurt yourself or do more damage to the car...

and he's correct here too \ / >
if you've actually threaded in the wrong pitch (I think not, just because there is some commonality) you have at the least *partially* cross-threaded every tap in every hub. PATIENCE. Wait to get the right parts - you might have a long time to regret it.

I think you should put stock wheels on and listen to Schwing...>>>
14 is the bolt diameter
1.5 is the thread pitch (not the goddamned bolt length)
28mm is the length of stock bolts.
You probably need conical aftermarket wheel bolts.

It is unfortunate that where you bought the wheels did not supply the correct bolts with them, but you get what you order if you order wrongly.
In any event, what you are doing is not safe and you should listen to Schwing.
The PhD Management Consultant we had at my last job always taught us that listening is the most important part of communication.

Re: Ahhh..Listening (or reading) seems to be a forgotten art....
I do read (therefore listen) to what you and Jeff post. You are very valuable members of this forum. There are others too, but you two stand out.
However, I still think the 3.2 TTQC doesn't need mods for all practical purposes, and
DSG Uber Alles... :-)
