Wheel Nuts

Andyrim · Mar 8, 2010

I have a 200tdi disco with the original alloys running road tyres.
I also have a set of mud terrains on steels do i have to use different wheel nuts
for the steels or will the ones on the alloys be o.k.

Yes you'll need different nut's as the alloy wheel ones could damage the steel's.
Plenty available cheaply on ebay Steel wheel nuts

i wouldnt worry about the damage.the main reason to get the right nuts is they wont hold the wheel on!!!!!!!!

Some alloy wheel nuts have the correct taper at the end so that they can be used with steel wheels eg spacesaver spare
