Help with my Nuts…. Wheel nuts that is!
-
Hi All,
I'm after some help with wheel nut sizes if poss.
I've just changed my alloys over from the stock mazda 5 spokes. As we know standard nuts are 21mm, these will fit my other wheels but clearance is tight once you've got a socket on there. And the lockers will no way near fit!
Anyways, I was routing through my gargae and found 6 17mm hex 34mm long buldge nuts with a 60 degree taper from some old wheels I had and seem to fit, now I need another 6 and some lockers.
Pic 3 in the below link is the style I've got and what I want….. I aint paying the prices listed on this site though! That's just mad! I've found them for less than £1 each else where. Although they do look like quality nuts!
http://www.performancealloys.com/wheel_nuts_wheel_bolts.aspProblem is I'm not sure what pitch they are. I know the nuts are M12 (12mm) and I can get nuts with a 1.5 or 1.25 pitch any ideas which ones I should be getting?
Some sites say 1.5 for Mazdas others say 1.25, really confussed now!
Thanks all for any help.

I've just got some new nuts for my MX3. Mine were 12x 1.5. for £25 (and they're blue :) )

Nice one nightstalker.
Just what I was after.
I did see the coloured type on ebay, the red ones would look good on my car.
Trouble is I begrudge spending 25 quid on nuts when the wheels inc tyres only cost me 50 :lol:
Cheers again fella!

i brought light weight ally nuts and ones snapped now, got to drill out stud as cant weld onto ally to remove it, not impressed, reliable heavy ones going back on!

Just a thought. I have the bolts off mine lying around (some are a bit tatty) but they were on alloy wheels and had a decent clearance from the rim. How much (little) do you want to pay for some? make me an offer :wink: and I've got locking types too.

Locking nuts £8.99 a set, I have a set of these and not had a problem
Or if you only want a few then buy it one nut at a time here for only £1.29 each
Even if you buy a set of 12 and the set of lockers they still work out about the same than a full set on ebay
