I don't know.
These are old, unusual wheels.

1/4" bolts fit in the opening, but 5/16" doesn't.

I'm not seeing a grade higher than 8 for bolts.
Truthfully, I suspect any one of us could sheer off any 1/4" bolt on the market with a ratchet wrench.

So, that being said, what makes a wheel bolt stronger or more special than a quality hardware store, grade 8 bolt?

thanks,
