vlsd 5-bolt bolts, size?

[mjjstang]

does anybody know what the specs of the vlsd 5-bolt bolts are, I need the nuts and bolts for the flange to axel connection, for a set of ten which I need, it is 59 bux at the dealer for just nuts and bolts. I tried the ones I took off my 6 bolt but they are a smaller diameter and I would think this is very important becasue if there is play (which there is) then it could snap something in hard acceleration or something, or if you have any of the right bolts let me know, but mostly I was wondering if someone has the specs, otherwise I have to take the die grinder and cut away at another shaft I have laying around and take that into napa or some store to size up. thanks if you can help.

just get some at the hardware store. get as big as will fit. hell, it doesn't even have to be metric, cuz the only thing is screws into is the nut you buy with it. just make sure they're a strong grade tho. like grade 8 minimum

Also make sure they fit the holes in the axles snug so they wont allow movement. I bit the bullet and bought new axle bolts which were 90 through the dealer for nuts and bolts for both sides

damn i guess I shouldnt complain that they are 60 from the dealer, anyway ill check the stores.

why not just buy 1 bolt/nut see which is cheaper.
Than use that to go to a hardware store and get same ones.
OR call up ARP, and get some nice quiality ones for about the same as dealer ;)

10mm grade 8 home depot bolts fit pretty nicely for me, I would have preferred 11mm though.

They did take some donuts and burnouts on some 255/45/17s without snapping
