Slimline wheel nuts

[SunGodRA]

When I fitted new wheels, the OEM nuts were too big to fit, so I had to temporarily use the nuts from my spacers (which I obviously removed! )

 

Spacer nuts:

 

OEM nuts too big to get socket over:

 

So I guess I need some slimline nuts - any recommendations?

Found these on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-350-Z-Allo ... _918wt_911 but dont know it they are any good etc...

welcome to the crap world of Small Diameter nuts.

 

lightweight alloy ones:

 

Internal Drive Versions - Stay clear! crack extrremely easily! resulting in drilling it off!

External Drive Verions - A little better, but still not ideal, and id always be a tad worried.

 

Steel Ones:

 

Internal Drive Versions - By far the best SD Nuts you can buy and also the cheapest!

External Drive Versions -(like the ones you found on ebay) nuts are good, nothing wrong with those, but the removal keys are cack and dont last very long. Especially if you get a stubbron tight nut one day.

either buy the steel internal drive nuts or buy a snap on slim walled socket.

is it a slim line socket with a plastic sleeve to stop marking your bolt pockets? there the best for the job

i wrap a fresh bit of duct tape round before i use my normal ones does the trick

Its a normal steel socket - the ones with plastic sleeve didn't fit wheel hole - but wrapping electric tape around it will do the job
