wheel nuts on mag wheels

had new tyres fitted to mag wheels on au ford one nut had been cross treaded so a new stud fitted and though about the spear rim and tyre this being a steel rim was told that the mag wheel nuts may not fit the steel rims can any one give me advice ex kiwi

.

being an ex-kiwi myself i thought i better post as well

the nuts for your mags are different to those for std rims, swap out your spare for a another mag or grab a handfull of nuts to suit your rim watever works for ya. it will prob bolt up but for how long is the question better to sus out now than on the side of the road...... in the rain...... at night........ etc........ etc.....

cheers

thought i better jump on board being " another " ex kiwi
Two different types of wheel nuts - the tapered seat wheel nut suits the steel rim & the long barrel flat seat wheel nut suits the alloy mag ...
As already stated - either carry 5 tapered seat wheel nuts in your glovebox to suit your spare or change out the spare to suit the mags .... Go the mighty ALL BLACKS !!!

Mag wheel nuts will seat a steel rim, but wouldn't drive over 80kph.
The problem is not with the wheels nuts but with the actual studs. From factory an AU Falcon with alloy wheels will have wheel studs approx 25mm longer than those for steel rims. Therefore the wheel nuts for alloy rims will run out of thread before they seat the rim.Someone may have done a dodgy as your spare should be alloy if alloys were factory fitment. As stated you'll have to get a set of 5 standard wheel nuts to be on the safe side.
You would be surprised also how many wheels come adrift due to the rim centres not seating on the hub centres.

hi prospekta thanks for imfo will get new set of nuts i bought the ute new so what you say about having a spear mag is this true i also bought a new ally craft boat 4.35 and dundier multi roller trailer with 50 yamaha and notice that the tyres on the where not new / also no spear tyre and rim /$240 extra also though i could go to wreakers and get one bought one but woud not fit because dunbier make there own rims they are narrower than normal so any time any one thinking of buying a trailer be it boat /or box chech first ex kiwi ps/ the mags where fords
