Hey, I'm new to this but just after a little help, I've recently bought some boots alloys for my 1991 defender 90, and the alloy seems to sit fine but the nuts are only a couple of threads on and wont sit in the actual alloy and they are the old ones that fit to the steel rims. Does anyone know what kind of nuts I need?

Thanks

These are, IMO, the right nuts - but there are only 16 of them - IOW, they are assuming you are buying locking nuts as well..... ( fair idea TBH ).

( I've edited the tracking sh*t out of Brians link too )

OP - make sure you buy a torque wrench too - it's safety critical that wheel nuts of alloys are kept at the correct torque - unless you want them to fall orft

And, ..... don't forget the right nuts and any spacers for your spare too ....
