Did mine 2 days ago and you dont need to change the bolts. Well i didnt anyway and there fine.

My RT had 13" wheels as standard and they wouldnt fit with the bigger brakes so had to fit my 15" Turbines to the RT instead.

Oh and to make your life easier, get yourself a rag and wrap it around the brake hose and use a set of mole grips to clamp the hose. This way you dont need to bleed the whole system after :wink:
