Wheel Nuts

I've just brought a set of White 8 spoke steel wheels and some decent off road Tyre's in preparation for a trip to Morocco.

The problem I have is the wheel nuts that are currently bolting the alloys that are on the Patrol won't fit with the new wheels. Where can I get a set of nuts to fit the 8 spoke steel wheels.

OK, wheel nuts you need to know whether the steels wheels you want to fit have a curved or straight taper. You also need to know the pitch & depth of the threads on the original vehicle.

Demon Tweeks can usually supply most wheel nuts for most vehicles & wheels, so maybe give them a ring and see if they can help. Failing that a place such as formula 4x4 who sell a lot of different wheel packages should be able to help in some way.

Ok, the situation is sorted... the nut I was checking on the new 8 spokes was off the spare wheel carrier... it turns out this is the only place that the correct nuts for the alloys was fitted.

All the nuts bolting the alloys to the Patrol were wrong for the alloys Surprised

but fit perfect with the new 8 spokes.

Just need to get some locking ones now off fleeBay and I'll have 4 spare to bolt the spare on with.

Thanks for your help Jonathan.
