Can anyone tell me what the proper style of lug bolts I need for these are?
The stock ones fit ok but I feel like they are little short.

| Sorry for thread jacking. But I have 3/4inch wheel spacers and wondering if 33mm lug bolts would be the proper size ? |

What length are your original bolts? Add 3/4" to that and what length does that make? You want at least full thread engagement of the drum/disc that you are bolting to, doesn't matter if they go thru 1-20 threads. I know there a a rule of thumb for minimum amount of engagement, but if you can get full, you shouldn't be worried when driving it. |
