    Quick question on lug bolts: I have a set of spacers in a box ready to install, but found out that I need to replace the locking lug bolts the dealer put on before I bought my Toaster. I figured I run by my dealer to see whether he can give me the four bolts he took off to install the locks... and he did... sort off. They handed me four lug bolts with identical thread size (12x1.25) and cone, looking at Ebay photos I believe they fit Jeep Cherokees. They are a touch longer, but also a touch heavier (58 grams for standard, 78 grams for locking bolt and 90 grams for the replacement bolts... don't ask...). The length is not a problem, there is space behind the bolt hole in the hub, the seat of the cone should be fine, not sure about the lip past the cone, see photo. Optics wouldn't matter, since they bolt the spacer to the hub. In essence main concern is the weight... Go or no go?? Or go back to the dealer and see whether they have a set of the Renny bolts? BTW the spacers are 1.5", so the taller head fits without grinding.

    Thanks, LilWhiteToaster! I had gone back to the dealer (Chapman in Henderson, NV) and they handed me 4 bolts, didn't have to pay for them... installed the spacers, no additional vibration, pretty happy with the results.
