wheel nuts

Post by GJMHONDA2012 » Tue Oct 21, 2014 9:49 am

Hi guys I'm wondering if anybody knows where I can get really short wheel nuts as in 10-12mm deep I'm needing them so I can bolt on my hubcentric spacers, I have spare OEM wheel nuts but they are far too long

I think the solution is to do it properly and get the right length studs, surely?

I would mate but I don't have a garage or anything to change the studs the only reason I'm asking is because I bought hubcentric spacers but they sent me the wrong ones they sent me ones with a 1.25 thread pitch and honda are 1.50 thread pitch, the nuts I got with the set are only 10mm deep

Only yourself to blame then... If they sent the wrong ones you should've had them exchanged.

Your using spacers on OEM nuts?
I couldnt fit 10mm. Not enough thread left. 5mm or 8mm max.
