I’ve just picked up a set of OEM alloy wheels (courtesy of Jimmer) and I’m looking at replacing the wheel nuts.

 

I currently have aftermarket alloys with ‘tuner’ style wheel nuts – the type that require a big Allen key to remove. I think they’ll look a bit out of place against the standard wheels and would prefer something a little more understated.

 

Can anyone tell me what size wheel nuts I need to go with the standard wheels/studs? So far I’m to believe that I need M12x1.25 Thread with a 60-degree taper. I’m not sure if this is correct, or how long the bolts need to be.

 

Finally, any suggestions where I can buy them from?

 

Thanks

Hi mate, yes M12 x 1.25 thread..... they are nuts not bolts.....

 

these are a few on offer on ebay.... Black nuts..... or there are the same in chrome look and other colours....

I just realised what i said. :pinch: By saying "...or how long the bolts need to be." i did mean the nuts.

 

I'd prefer to get the closed cap ones but don't know how long they'd need to be in order to fit down the length of the studs and make a nice tight contact - if that makes any sense...
