Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 None of the wheel nuts I sell are recommended for OEM wheels due to the taper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longsh07 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 None of the wheel nuts I sell are recommended for OEM wheels due to the taper. Dont the OEM rays have the 60 degree taper? I ran a set of TPi nuts with my GT4 Rays and they seated just fine. As for gold nuts - http://www.taperpro.co.uk/2012/nuts.htm SixOneTwo stock them - http://shop.sixonetwo.co.uk/tpi/accessories Just be careful with them. They are lightweight alloy so no impact wrenches!! On black LMGT4's On stock GT4 Rays 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveBoy Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'd imagine, they are fine, as I ran tapered nuts on my gt wheels for 2 years or so with no issues. Tarmac probably can't say that JUST in case something goes wrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had issues with them (bar the edges getting a little scratched when putting a socket on). Make sure you always use hand tools and not an impact wrench and you'll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarmoZ Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 So the consensus is that tapered nuts are fine on GT4 wheels? do they sell in the standard non tapered version? Dare i ask, what is the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longsh07 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I never had an issue with mine but I only had them for a year or two tops (cant recall) before I swapped them over for the steel Nismo ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
