I want to change the wheel nuts on my 06 FL. The problem I'm finding is the different sizes.  I think the front nuts are 21mm x 33mm and the rear 21mm x 43mm but can't seem to find the different sizes on Amazon/ Flebay.

A job to keep @Carolyn tinkering :) Measure bolts and find source haha.

They're certainly not unique to Toyota as far as thread goes, as I have aftermarket wheel nuts
...neutiquam erro.

Retaining the O/E wheels?  Why/what are you wanting to change?

Keeping the OEM wheels but the locking nuts are fubar. Hell of a job getting them off.

@Top down -
Shouldn't be a problem, on eBay when a car is being broken the part on offer is typically a wheel nut!

Although I would try Mr Sloane on here

I have a set of spares and measure the front as having a total height of 37mm and rears 42mm.

Found ones on eBay with appropriate dimensions from same seller here and here . Plus quite a few other listings for the smaller size.

I got lucky and bagged a brand new unused set from Dean at Rutland a couple of years back.  Included the 3-hole style lock nut but I removed them when I put the car into a garage so they didn't bugger them. Still using normal nuts as has never bothered to refit.  Do people still nick wheels off cars?  Can't remember the last time I saw one sitting on a pile of bricks  :)

Just be aware that the wheel nuts are NOT the standard aftermarket taper - they are a flat washer, if using stock wheels you need to get replacements with the flat washer style.

Last time I went over to Carlisle, Dick had a bucket of stock bolts and happily swapped out my lockers for standard ones at no charge.  Suppose it makes his life easier if/when the car eventually finds its way back to him in the future :)

The O/P also asked on Facebook, & DS mentioned he had them...so likely he did.

I used the search 'Toyota OE wheel nut' in eBay which brings up a whole host of listings for flat seated ones.

I then further narrowed it down by adding a length and checking the search in the description box.  As you point out - those with a tapered seat are not compatible with factory wheels.
