Wheel nut 'noob' question

[tc350z]

Hey guys/gals,

 

I aquired a set of Rota GTR's today and tried to use my standard wheel nuts but are to big so obviously I'll need a set of new shiny ones now im thinking of those D1 Spec thingys kicking about on ebay... but what size, and long or short? does that apply to if you have spacers? anyways help would be much appreciated!

 

Wheel size 5x114.3

 

Staggered so,

Fronts 18x8.5 et35

Rears 18x9.5 et35

 

Thanks, Tony

makes all 5 nuts a locking wheel nut.

 

steel so no risk of it shearing and leaving a half ripped nut stuck on your wheel.

Can you use internal drive nuts with impact guns?

[docwra]

Not advised. Internals are a much better bet all round though IMO, less likely to round off and even if they split you can usually still get them off

 

RT is bang on the money

Cheers for that link, the DW internal drives look great. The Rays wheels have quite tight recesses for external drives, I know I have chipped mine in a cpl of places despite being extremely careful.

What ever you do don't buy from the eBay supplier based in Colnbrook.

As mentioned in a previous post a few days ago.

He states he is UK supplier but infact he employees a Chinese Import company and resides in Singapore.

He sold me some fake Rays and was/is under investigation from Rays UK.
