This might be a stupid question but!
I have just bought some mags for the AU what I need to know is what do the wheel nuts look like for it? The wheels that I got are off an 02 mazda (cheap) now all the cars that I have played with before have been pre 92 after looking at these wheels they look like they use a standard steel wheel nut. I dont want to assume so can you guys please enlighten me

Wheel nuts are identical to the E Series ones. They never changed.

The "E" series nuts do not fit these rims.
I went through my nut collection (leave it alone) and the only thing that seems to fit is the steel wheel nuts. maybe someone else has used wheels from a Jap car?

You'll need the small bore wheel nuts with internal hex key (allen key??). They are about $2 each from any wheel shop.

well from what i can see the nut holes dont look tappered. if your standard nuts dont fit could this be because the mazda setup needs a shanked nut with a washer(if you are unsure what i mean go down to your tyre shop and ask for one to take home or take your rim in) these still might not fit and involve grinding the shaft to fit? just to note falcon studs are longer than most so make sure it goes tight. the offset on these rims arn't right for the au but will fit ok! |
