they are 6" wide and my original steels were 5.5 is it safe to use the old bolts for my steels with the alloys as ive lost half inch of thread on each bolt or should i get some longer bolts to be safe

Just because the wheels are half an inch wider, doesnt mean the center of them is half an inch wider, lol. They will be totally fine. Anyways, wont the bolts be all rusty from the steelies?? Get some fresh stainless ones.
