Aftermorning guys

this maybe a stupid question, but do stock Liberty Wheels require a special wheel nut.

i just got my Liberty GT Rims from being powdercoated (but need to be taken back and redone :( ) and the wheel nuts bought dont seem to fit.


Cheers
Ben

how come they need to be redone mate?

and all i'm aware of is the sizing and tapered or non tapered. there's probably more to it than that?

Cue others input :)

the rims need to be redone because some of the paint has rubbed off in transport, had them wrapped up in a jumper. phoned them up today and yeah have to get them back and they will redo the rims,

300mm? Your nuts are F@#K'n huge. :lol:

60deg pitch on the mating surface of the nut to wheel. Pretty much standard fare. They are normal nuts, you just bought ones too long. If you want them to sit flush like oem.....

I had them on my CS9's. Just paint the end of the wheel stud black.
