Anyone clever with wheel nuts?

Was interested to find out if my wheel nuts will work with these new tyres/ how to find out :nenau

I think you will find you still have to turn them clock wise to tighten & anti clock wise to loosen :roflol: :roflol: :roflol: :lol :lol :lol :augie

Don't get too technical...:lol
You first have know which way a clock goes...:lol:lol
Now if your only clock is digital........:doh:doh:doh

Now a sensible reply...:thumb2
Torque wrench essential, also different taper, ie countersink, on steel vs some alloys, also how many complete turns of the wheel nut for good thread engagement... critical...

If you use wheel nuts meant for steel, then they may not engage enough to be safe, due to the thicker material around the holes on alloys...

They are alloys as are what you have got on now so just compare the holes on the wheels as long as the taper is the same you should be ok.
