Title: Wheel nuts
Post by: Stevey on September 23, 2008, 12:45:03 PM
Random i know , But ive only just got my rx7 and i was hoping to fit my 18" Buddy club p1 sf\'s but the standard nuts are to tight and the nuts i got off my 200sx are the wrong thread.
 
Wheres a good place to get nuts from ?? i want some slimline ones

Driftworks sell slimline steel ones IIRC :)
Can i have your old ones? ;) :D

Spigots are good, but not essential - if you don\'t have them just make sure you tighten the wheel gradually in a cross pattern, and the tapers on the nut holes will centre the wheels :)

Mazda is M12x1.5 AFAIK - same as Toyota, but not Nissan.
