ms8qt Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Hi guys, 'zmanalex' recently supplied me with some LMGT4 wheels in absolute mint condition and I'm REALLY happy with how they look on the car However, the nuts needed (which I also got off him) are what I would call slimline 17mm nuts, i.e. the head of the nut is simply the 17mm hex (anything bigger would damage the wheels when fitted). Part of the deal was that I would find myself some locking wheel nuts for these wheels (ideally in black to match the others) and once fitted I would send him back 4 nuts that he's loaned me. I'm having real trouble finding anything that comes close but I guess I'm not looking in the right places! Not only that but I'm not sure what spec nuts I need apart from the 17mm hex size, i.e. thread size, etc. Can anyone point me in the direct of some locking nuts that will work with these wheels? Black isn't totally necessary but would be nice so they match the others. Just seen these, although they're M12 x 1.5 (not 1.25 as I believe I need), would they work? They seem slimline looking to me too. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140313272586 MANY thanks, Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 1.25 is the pitch mate. This should explain it better than I ever could. http://www.boltscience.com/pages/screw6.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I don't know if they do the size you need, but I used these people for my Evo and with good results. http://www.ears.co.uk/motorsport/acatal ... es_85.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 He requires M12 x P1.25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hi Mark, We do several sets of nuts that would fit, Black ones are a little harder to get but McGard do them (although we don't carry in stock) as well as Rays. Prices are around £45 a set. Best Regards, Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
