Hi,
Might be a bit of a long shot but worth a try...
Do I need different wheel nuts to change from RoStyle wheels to Minilite (Minator actually) alloy wheels on a '72 MGB GT?
I will be very impressed if someone can tell me!
Cheers, and happy new year to everyone.

Can't answer the question directly, but if you've got both wheels, check that they are similar thickness ie similar thread length will engage, & that the seat angle is the same diameter & taper, should be able to check this by holding a nut against the 2 tapers to check engagement. HTH
Thanks, they are the same thickness and I did initially try to compare the tapers as you suggest, it's just a bit difficult as the taper is quite
inaccessible so I wondered if anyone had a definitive answer.
Appreciate the advice though, thanks.
Most after market alloys these days use 60 degree tapered seat nuts, contact wheel manufacturer to check the fitting.
The MGB Rostyle used wheel nuts with beveled seats.
ISTR the wheel nut thread on the MGB is 1/2" UNF
Real Minilites used at totally different nut fitting.

My MG had one alloy on when I got it, minilite type, and had special wheel nuts, with a built in 'taper washer' presumably so when the taper
pulled up against the alloy, it spun in the nut rather than against the alloy.
I think I've binned them, cos I'm converting to wires and they were past being any use, but if I can find one I'll post a pic.

The wheel nuts on Rostyle wheels are not the nicest nuts anyhow, the chrome often peels off and they wouldn't look right with Minilite type
wheels IMHP

Damn, clicked that link 1 minute late! Nevermind, at least I know what I'm looking for now.
Cheers everyone
Edit - Yep they are a bit scruffy... In fact, they are rusty nuts.
