just bought some winter steelies for my disco 1 and i only have alloy wheel nuts. would it be dangerous to fit the steelies with the alloy wheel bolts. the steelies are off a defender if it makes a difference? thanks in advance. Tom

as the end of the nut is chamfered it can be used on steels wheels aswell as alloys although they will look strange on steels where they are sticking out mor than usual.

If you have locking wheel nuts you may find that they have a different shap to em so may not be suitable.

why would you need enough for 5 wheels? the spare carrier only needs 3 nuts.

OP theres sets of 20 steel wheel nuts on flea bay at the moment for under a tenner delivered
