Styled steel wheel for spare - what do I need

66gtk · January 21, 2009 at 10:21 AM

I'm changing my spare to a matchings styled steel wheel. I currently have a standard painted wheel in the trunk. Will I be able to use my spare mounting hardware, or do I need to buy some new pieces? What will I need? Anybody have an extra used trim ring laying around? I'd like to put it on the spare.

The styled steel wheel uses a longer hold down bolt. I am pretty sure that the hold down plate used is a smaller diameter version. I have the smaller plate on mine but I am unsure if that applied to all of these or if there was a possible production date change. Perhaps Charles can chime in on this.

Yes, there is a specific holddown plate for the styled steel wheel. Here is a pic of an original setup hope it helps.
