wheel nuts?

[Jak_Vts]

Will the wheel nuts and locking nuts that I am using for my TSW alloys be suitable for the VTS wheels I am putting on next week or should I go to the dealer and get new bolts?

Ermmm should be fine, are they the standard wheels nuts??

[L33h]

[Jak_Vts]

You will need new bolts

The one's you have now will have a tapered head, for VTS rims you will need flat washer bolts.

These are mine

kk thanks mate, I will speak to the dealer tomorrow! the locking nuts should be ok though?

[Yates]

need new locking nuts as well

[Jak_Vts]

Thanks I spoke to the dealer collecting the lot tomorrow but he said there are two type's one is 17mm and other is 19mm, but he said because I am getting the whole set it shouldn't be a problem does that sound right? just wanted to check

Don't think it matters really

Mine has 17mm heads, my sisters old one had 19mm, same bolt just different head.

Just make sure the locking nuts you get are the same, pain in the arse if there different.

Ye the guy said he will look at the size of the locking wheel nuts and just get the ones that match them, was quite impressed with how helpful he was anyway thanks for the help all ordered now should have the wheels on by the end of the week!
