Swapping alloys for steel wheels, use same bolts?

[_Rich_]

About to change over to winter wheels/ tyres.

But just looking at another general thread a few people are saying you also need to change the bolts you use if you're taking off alloys and putting on steel wheels. Is this true?
It's an e92 330 (if that makes a difference).

This is what I bought, when goes on about 100% fitment I assume it would be a straight swap. I think a phone call in the morning may be in order. I don't fancy driving to work and a wheel falls off

Sorted. A few things I've learnt; that is ball ache, 3 of the wheels would not come off without a lot of force, and trying to line the holes up on the front is well more ball ache.
On the plus side I took it for a test drive and the wheels didn't fall off, and it doesn't feel so harsh when I hit a bump in the road.







Also noticed a lot of rust I assume this is normal?

What tyres did you go for? I'm looking at getting a set of steelies but anything about the Avon winter tyres gets quite expensive.

I went with the Avon tyres because of price, they do seem to get positive reviews online. I've only had them on just over a day, but they did there job on an icy country road this morning.
