Who wants to go for a drive to Ferntree Gully VIC?

I'm sorry but anything requiring a decent amount of torque that's allen key design is a BAD idea. (short of impact bolts and sockets)...

[GTOJOE]

What bolts are you using then? I was wary of the design as well but then my mates car had the same nuts with no problems. The other option is the skinny locknut type like this.



As long as the key for the nuts fits in the wheel.

cheap shit

note the different SEATING of the nuts as shown in that last link...never bothered to check that with the XXR rims...but usually it's 60 degree angle...of note the stock GTO nuts are a MAG seat..so definitly not compatible.

titanium...fuck yeahhhhhh

None of those will work on my wheels. Not even the titanium ones you just creamed yourself over I think the only option is the first pic I posted or a very skinny lock nut. as long as the keys outside diameter is not more than 20mm.

[MR2]

according to the website, your wheels require conical nuts (the tuner style)

XXR Wheels - Style 962 Deep Lip Rims by XXR

and they list these as specifically compatible with your wheels:

Lug Nuts - Muteki, Project Kics, Spline Drive & Tuner Lugs

and I guarantee you the Titanium TiKORE nuts would fit, as would the Rays Formula ones

I'm sure you've got more than 20mm to play with...have you measured the maximum socket size you can fit in the hole?

[MR2]

also are you stock struts? how close is your rim to the strut? care to take a pic? (pleaseeee)

[GTOJOE]

We are going in circles here LOL. I already have what you call tuner nuts [which have the 60 deg tapered seat] but they don't work cus the socket doesn;t fit. The only ones that will work are these. Same as what I posted earlier. As for clearance I'll check my photobucket for pics.
