When you say you want 30mm bolts, are you going to use fully threaded bolts? Surely there would be some slop where the bolt passes through the aluminium wheel centre? Would you not be better off looking for bolts with a shanked section and just enough thread on the end to ensure that the but can be tightened to the proper torque without getting to the end of the thread?

Bolts have a threaded portion of the overall length, the remainder (the shank) is unthreaded. A screw is threaded along its entire length *happy*

to get a 30mm 'bolt' with only a little thread on the end, you would need to find a bolt with the desired length shank and then cut the threaded portion down.

However, it doesnt really matter as the 'fastener' *happy* should not be exposed to shear loads, as long as they are tightened correctly.
