    Anyone have a good set of wheel bolts they want to sell to fit the original wheels on a 79 308 GTS. PM me.

    I believe the advertising states that the steel is of a higher grade and more chrome on the bolts. quick service, good price.

    I bought a set off of Ebay and had them re-chromed. For the money that I spent, I was only a few bucks off from a new set from Hill Eng. I'd go for the new ones.

    Thanks Big Tex. Are you saying that the bolts off of an 80 GTB are the same as those on a 79 GTS? Can someone confirm?

    All 308GTB/S from 1976-1985 (all versions) use the same stock lugbolts:

    108842 front

    108843 rear

    Fastcars575,

    In general, both "sale" and "want" ads should be first posted in FerrariAds, then a link to the classified ad provided in your first post, that gets your item or want broadcast and also gives you a venue for discussion/advice. Glad you found a quick answer/solution though.

    He 'found' a set in another thread???

    But Steve, which number is LONG and which one is SHORT???

    I never can remember, just careful to always avoid swapping them....

    I believe it's the front 308 lugbolts that are longer -- but it's been some time since I've had a 308 to fondle ;)

    I just put my wheels back on and can verify the long bolts are in the front.

    Bought a set from Superformance last year. Great price, but be gentle with them as the chrome pretty easily flakes off if you're rough with the lug wrench.
