Wheel bolt needed

[trig]

I need 1x wheel bolt for the front wheel , for some reason I have different bolts for front and rear , the front have a 17 socket and the rear 19mm...
looking at SJ website (http://www.sjsportscars.co.uk/index.php?mod=10 ) they have bolts for BBS and OZ ,, I have "15 OZ wheels..

Is it normal to have different socket size for front and rear?

what makes are common with the Elan ? , I need to replace the front bolt as soon as poss , I'm tracking the Elan next Sat and wont my wheels to stay on

Pretty sure mine are all 19mm. I've got a full spare set (16) - they were a bit rusty so I ordered a new set in the parts sale, but you're welcome to as many of the old ones as you want. All perfectly serviceable, just not perfect cosmetically. I should be around any evening in the week if you want to pick them up.

SEs use 19mm head bolts on OZ wheels. S2 wheels are made by BBS and the bolt heads are 17mm because the holes in the wheels into which the bolt head fits are smaller. Both types of bolts seem to be exactly the same otherwise.
Why not just buy some locking wheel bolts and solve the problem as well as securing the wheels? Or carry one of those extending wheel-braces handles with a double-ended socket.

That's odd then on mine Both rear wheels have the 19mm and both the fronts 17mm , I have an extending brace with double socket that came with car, don't fancy locking wheel bolts as I've had too many problems in the past with lost key socket


Jon that's brilliant if I could have one of your spare bolts , thank you

My track wheels are Team Dynamics and use 19 bolts and the S2 wheels use 17 - so I have to remember to take both all the time doh! and i have one of those swappable sockets on an extenable brace
