Does anyone know if there are adapters for aftermarket bolts so that OEM commercial hubcaps can be fitted after fitting wheel spacers?
They don't grab aftermarket bolts like they do the originals.

Many thanks
 
sounds like you have the wrong wheel nuts... a lot of aftermarket spacers will come with bolts suitable for aftermarket wheels (17mm head size) you will need longer 19mm headsized bolts to fit with oem caps. Mtech on ebay will sell them

They're definitely the wrong bolts for the hub caps but the right ones for the spacers.
I'll take a look at Mtech and/or stick a bead of weld around the bolts I have so the caps have something to grab hold of.
 
I see what you mean. As well as a collar, the oem bolts do have larger heads.

Thanks mate, Mtech have some Porsche ones that fit and have the same diameter collar with 19mm hex
