Paz216 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Right guys, it was payday and I treated myself, to a right headache. Brought a set of 8.5j Rota torques second hand with a nice set of tyres. Now I knew when I picked them up I would probably have to space them, which wasn't an issue, so in advance I pre ordered myself some 5mm wheel spacers to make sure the alloy didn't scuff the caliper or vice versa. So after putting the spacer on, lining up the wheel, I couldn't get the standard nut on the car......the issue seems that even my thin 21mm socket can't get in the gap between wheel bolt and the alloy wheel, has anyone else had this issue? Is the only thing to do buy new lug nuts? Longer ones perhaps? Anyone know where I can source these? Need them ASAP! Thanks in advance guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 You probably need a nice set of internal drive nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Muteki super tuner nuts M12 x 1.25 from Tarmacsportz should do the trick I would have thought. These come with an extension socket. I have these with my Rota GTRs which have small lug holes too. There are cheaper chromed types around too - which take a 19mm socket IIRC.

No more scratching the wheels when you undo them too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I got 17 or 19mm nuts with my Rota's, no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
