Wheel bolts too short for lug nut to grab AKA the Wheel Ordeal
Hello all. I bought set of Aftermarket 17" wheels for my 09 hatchback off of Kijiji. I took the car to a friend's house, jacked up put the tires on realized the stock bolts weren't gonna work. It was late so we called a night, put the steelies and the snow tires back on.
So next day, I head over to Canadian Tire and they tell me I need the Toyota Aluminum wheels lug nuts which they have for $60. So i bought them but since i had the wheel in the back, i did a quick fit test and realized they weren't gonna work either. So i run back in and the attendant tells me I need spline lug nuts. so i grabbed those. I get back to my friends we jack up the car up again and realized that yes the spline nuts do go in deeper, i can only grab about a turn and a half. So i go back to Canadian TIre and they tell me i need "tuner" lug nuts from macgard for $110 bucks. Well these did not work either same thing as the spline they go in but only grab about a turn and a half. Has anyone ran into this issue before? The holes on the wheels have a taper so any of these lug nuts I've tried can only go in so far.. ![]() Could this be the solution? http://www.brandsport.com/grla-21138etxl.html Many thanks in advance for your help =) Last edited by ebaut; 06-19-2016 at 02:01 PM. |
