Short Tapered Seat Wheel Bolts for OEM Replacement and Wheel Spacer Applications
The H&R HRS1452801 wheel bolts are M14x1.5 thread fasteners with a 28mm overall length, tapered (conical) seat head, 17mm hex, and a silver finish, sold as a set of 10. The HRS1452801 is used as a direct OEM replacement wheel bolt or as the specified hardware for certain H&R wheel spacer configurations where a shorter bolt length is appropriate. The tapered conical seat ensures correct mating with wheels designed for standard angled bolt seats found on a wide range of European, Asian, and domestic vehicles. Manufactured from grade 10.9 steel, the HRS1452801 provides the tensile strength required for safe, reliable wheel installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What seat type is the HRS1452801?
The HRS1452801 uses a tapered (conical) seat, which is the most common wheel bolt seat type found on European and many other vehicles. Verify your wheel's required seat type before ordering, as tapered seat bolts are not interchangeable with ball seat or flat seat designs.
Is 28mm a short wheel bolt? What is it used for?
28mm is a relatively short wheel bolt length, typically used for OEM replacement in applications where the factory specification calls for a shorter bolt, or in combination with specific H&R spacer configurations. Always confirm the correct length for your application.
What vehicles use M14x1.5 tapered seat wheel bolts?
M14x1.5 tapered seat wheel bolts are used on a wide range of European vehicles including Volkswagen Group (Audi, VW, SEAT, Skoda), BMW, and Mercedes-Benz platforms where tapered seat geometry is specified. Always verify your vehicle's exact requirement before ordering.
How many sets do I need for a full vehicle set?
One set of 10 HRS1452801 covers two wheels on a 5-lug vehicle. For full four-wheel coverage you will need two sets (20 bolts total).
What is the grade 10.9 designation on the HRS1452801?
Grade 10.9 is the international strength classification for high-tensile steel fasteners. It indicates the minimum tensile strength and proof load of the bolt material, ensuring adequate clamping force and resistance to loosening under normal driving conditions.
What torque should I use for the HRS1452801?
Use your vehicle manufacturer's specified wheel bolt torque. For most European M14x1.5 applications this is typically 110-130 Nm. Verify against your specific model's service manual.
Are H&R wheel bolts safe for track and spirited driving?
Yes. Grade 10.9 H&R wheel bolts are built to OEM-equivalent engineering standards and are widely used in performance and track applications. Inspect periodically and replace any bolt showing thread wear or damage.
What is the difference between the HRS1452801 (silver) and the SW (black) variants?
The HRS1452801 is the silver finish standard version, while SW designates the black (schwarz) finish variant. Both share the same thread specification, length, seat type, and grade. The choice between them is cosmetic, based on wheel style and personal preference.
Installation Instructions
- Confirm thread size (M14x1.5) and tapered seat type match your vehicle and wheel requirements.
- Clean hub threads and wheel bolt holes of any corrosion or debris.
- Thread bolts in by hand to confirm smooth engagement without cross-threading.
- Using a 17mm socket and calibrated torque wrench, tighten in a star pattern to your vehicle's factory specification.
- Recheck torque after the first 50 miles following any wheel installation.
