The seat is the only part of the bolt or nut that clamps the wheel, so the wrong shape touches on a thin ring and can work loose. EMPI specifies its tuner-style 60° hardware for this wheel, and we will match the thread and length to your car before you mount it. The 73mm center bore is a dealer figure; measure your hub, and if the bore is larger than the hub, fit hub-centric rings so the wheel runs true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eInstall Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfirm your car is a 1998–2010 New Beetle with a 5x100 hub before ordering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest-fit before mounting a tire: check caliper, strut and fender clearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque to your factory manual or the hardware maker's spec in a star pattern, and re-check after the first 50 miles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome care: wash when cool and wax regularly; road salt pits chrome.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWill the EMPI BRM 00-9737-0 fit my 2004 VW New Beetle?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes.
