Wheel Nuts?

uktotty · December 11, 2014, 12:32

So what wheel nuts/bolts do I need to fit after market wheels then?
I know the Toyota ones won't fit

You need tapered ones.

EDIT: Something like this...
You can also get regular nuts with a taper on too.

Any 12 1.5mm tapered tuner nuts although the style linked below may fit dependent on the style of alloy, I have always used the keyed tuner nuts due to the key fits inside the nut and prevents damage to the alloys when removing.

Did/do you not have some for your Lenso's on the blue one?

StuC · December 11, 2014, 21:51

Just thinking on this Russ, I might have a spare set of nuts in the garage. If you want me to check?

StuC · December 12, 2014, 13:40

I have 16 of these Russ.

Stu that's really kind mate, I actually bought a set on ebay yesterday and I am awaiting delivery.
I do have some on the Lensos but as the original wheels were stolen, (along with my hardtop stand which I am "profiteering from" and door cards, seats etc, crash bars, stereo, etc )I have no wheels to put back on the blue one to get those nuts back!

Bought these, hope they are correct

Come again. s:-( :-( s:-(

Thought you knew mate, my ex lodger had a lock up, he offered me to put lots of my stuff in it, I retained £100 of his deposit due to needing to replace the mattress and clean the bedroom as he had stained it. (fill in the blanks)
In return for that, he got a van and emptied the lock up, took 2 sets of wheels, door cards, facelift seats, all my original interior items, bull bars for my 4x4, hardtop stand and bag, and many other things that I can't even remember what was in there. I was on holiday when he did it, police got involved but nothing was resolved.

StuC · December 14, 2014, 13:51

Rubbish s:-( :-( s:-(

Wabbitkilla · December 14, 2014, 14:02

Ah that's crap Russ, what a pita!

uktotty · December 16, 2014, 17:36

Well the good news is the wheel nuts have arrived, bad news is they don't fit!
Wheels are KEI RSS and have a smaller hole and deeper recess than the nuts I have bought s:(

StuC · December 16, 2014, 17:48

Sheesh, you can't catch a break Russ.

What size difference are we talking? The ones you have bought are a 24.5mm diameter.
The same company/trader on ebay offer these. These ones are only 20mm diameter.

If it makes you feel any better, the ones I have are the same as the ones you bought. s:-( :-( s:-(
