340 aluminum wheels: bolts ?????

Post by adrock » 18 Mar 2009 10:34 am

Hello.
I need to know information about the Volvo 340 DL 1988 tyre bolts.
The old ones were bad so I have to buy new ones. Well, now I lost the old ones, so there´s nothing to compare in the shop.

I´ve got the information about the size maybe being 12X1,25 but what about the cone (is this the right term??) in degrees? 60?

The wheels are original aluminum like this one has:

Thanks for your help. Hopefully you got the idea I´m after. Sorry my bad technical-english....

thanks for the reply.

as i said, my knowledge of english vocabulary about cars is almost zero, so the search is hopeless.
but thanks for the part number.

i got also email from local volvo dealer. he couldn´t say, what is the correct size but can order me new ones (???). it´s just that the price is quite salty: almost 60€ for all 16.

but so there is a hope for me, my car and our summer time together :D

Impreza nuts will fit fine, they're M12x1.25 and usually 60 degrees. They may be more widely available, especially from modifying places.
