You can easily figure out length fitment of the bolts. Put bolt to steel wheel and measure length of thread that comes trough wheel towards hub. Repeat same procedure with alloy wheel. If thread that comes trough alloy wheel, is significantly shorter, compared to steel wheel.Thanks Sparky - just changed my old steel wheels for some K12 cabriolet 16 inch alloys and was surprised at the difference in thickness where the bolt holes are . I have a steel space saver spare - my bolts look just like the ones in your photo so I guess they must be ok - thanks for your help.
Mika - since 1966... you have and as mikka says :- Compare to make sure they are the right fitment and safe to use...

That was a good year Mika, the last year that I was clean shaven, been bearded since late 1966. 1967 perhaps not so, as I got married for the first time in that year, (seemed a good idea at the time)..........Mika - since 1966
I had the spare wheel bolt to check as I have these 20mm hubcentric spacers on the back of my K12 and they came with the longer wheel bolts as shown in the picture, very good value at £35 for the set including carriage...Thanks John for the pictures especially with the rule alongside the bolt - your bolt is definitely longer than my bolt - mine measures 21mm of actual thread. I am getting 11 full thread turns on insertion of each bolt which is more than the diameter so I am quite comfortable that the bolts are safe. Having said that I am going to try and source some bolts labelled BBS just to be ultra confident.
Then you already know this: Females are never wrong, in case that they are wrong. That is caused by something that males said or didn't say, did or didn't do.That was a good year Mika, the last year that I was clean shaven, been bearded since late 1966. 1967 perhaps not so, as I got married for the first time in that year, (seemed a good idea at the time)..........
Well the wheels/tyres are still within the body work but I have fitted some spats to the rear wheel arches, primarily for looks but they do reduce the amount of crap splashed up the rear quarter panels...Those hubcentric spacers look well machined. Do they make the wheel face inline with the body panels. Because I always thought that they should not stick out. And if they do you must have some of those wheel arch extensions.
Looks great with those installed btw.
