Heckle Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Soooo... got a set of wheels today, they were previously from a gen 7 and a gen 5 GT4, but they don't want to go on my gen 6 GT. My stock 21mm nuts are too big to fit in the nut wells of these rims. Do gen 7's and 5's use 19mm nuts? And if so, are the threads the same?

ams Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Are they aftermarket wheels? You probably need aftermarket nuts with a 17 head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si_c Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 I think they are referred to as tuner nuts I think they are referred to as tuner nuts, you have an adaptor to take them on and off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heckle Posted October 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Yes, they are aftermarket wheels. Please don't tell me I have to go to Halfwits... (Halfords) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev 16v Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Depending on the width of the nut recesses, you'll need either of the links below.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-x-ALLOY-WHEEL-NUTS-FOR-TOYOTA-AURIS-AVENSIS-COROLLA-CAMRY-CARINA-M12x1-5-P7-/140938450945?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyres_Trim_Nuts_ET&fits=Car+Make%3AToyota|Cars+Type%3A1.5&hash=item20d0961801 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-m12-x-1-5-TOYOTA-LUCIDA-JAP-IMPORT-ALLOY-WHEEL-SLIM-TUNER-NUTS-BK-LG-KEI-FOX-/130681580948?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyres_Trim_Nuts_ET&hash=item1e6d3aad94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4evacelica Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 I'll check what size the nuts are and get a pic of them for you. Will be tomorrow as I'm at work now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skatz114 Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 If I was you, I'd go for the set in the 2nd link Kev16v sent you mate. They're guaranteed to fit. I got the ones you've linked & they still wouldn't go into my wheels. The internal drive ones will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Depending on the wheels - you could go for 17mm head ones if space is tight - I would only fit tuner ones if they are the only ones that would fit the wheel - have seen too many cars with cracked ones - saying that I have them on the mr2 - but that is because they wont take a normal nut http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/16-x-Chrome-Steel-Wheel-Nuts-M12x1-5mm-Honda-Mitsubishi-Toyota-Mazda-/221272342953?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyres_Trim_Nuts_ET&hash=item3384dc01a9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The internal drive ones will The ones I linked should be ok, as long as the dimensions quoted are accurate, I should have 0.5-1mm clearance on the anti-theft key. Just will mean I have to be careful to make sure not to touch the sides when torquing them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ams Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Do them by hand using a standard length brace and you should be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heckle Posted October 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I would normally use my torque wrench set to 76lb/ft(100Nm), as even with the short brace from the OEM toolkit I am liable to over tighten. I have been nicknamed''gorilla-grip'' on numerous occasions for breaking studs, bolts, rounding nuts, and generally giving it too much welly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
