Standard alloy nuts
« on: 11 March 2013, 18:14 »
Does anyone know what are the standard measurements are on wheel nuts length ect basically I went to get new alloys fitted today but my wheel nuts are not long enough so I need to buy new ones but don't know what are the right ones to get

The nuts I've got at the mo are black if that helps replacing the wheels on my sig pic

Aftermarket alloys will need a different taper, standard bolts will be radius seat and are no good for the new alloys.

What alloys are you fitting, longer bolts should not be needed
