Lug nuts

Post by Fallso » Wed May 27, 2015 9:03 am

Hi all,

I bought some motegi alloys a little while ago, but my lug nuts from my old wheels are too long to fit the centre caps on. What size are other people using?

Think @Honda-hardy recently went through a similar problem with his nuts... Maybe he can help.

@wurlycorner, post the dimensions of the nuts I sold you. They fit under Motegi centre caps.

Thanks all! I found a site selling those open nuts yesterday but wasn't sure if it was those I needed...

The small capped end type also fit under the caps.
