Using your stock wheel bolts can be unsafe with aftermarket wheels. (The stocks are ball seat and the aftermarket are usually conical seat.)

What brand wheels did you get? The size wheel bolt is dependent on the wheel. If you can call the manufacturer of the wheel or the place you got them from, they can get you the right wheel bolts.

thanks for a fast reply. actually i got these italian avalini wheels and i cant really find any english information on them anywhere.. i bought them off someone on ebay they were only 500 for wheels and tires so i just went for it. all the info on them i can find is that the name of the wheel is avalini formula. theyre 18x8

^^Are those the wheels? I'd call that company. They're in Europe, but they deal with the US. They could probably tell you the right size or let you order them.

EDIT: I'm looking at the site...idk if I can even find a phone number lol

You could just go with a Wheel Stud kit, I even offer a stud kit that includes both type of nuts.

i dont really get how that would help me.. explain? sorry i dont really know too much about this stuff

The wheel stud kit allows you to install studs into the hub which you never have to take out, then you just use the correct type of not to hold the wheels on. Our man style kit comes with both types of nuts which means you dont have to guess at which one you have, it also means you only have an extra set of lug nuts instead of a whole set of extra lug bolts. The studsare able to stick out of the nug nutwhich means the length is never an issue.

Without hubcentric rings, you may have some vibration, so I'd say yes you do need them.
