Special Wheel Nuts
Here's one for the LB collective brain
I'm having trouble getting the right wheel nuts for my car
The hubs are Ford 4 stud 108 PCD with M12 studs.
The wheels are Porsche 924 4 stud 108 PCD for M14 nuts with a radius seat
I can't find an M12 nut with the right size radius seat
I've got 2 options as I see it, drill out the hubs and discs to take M14 studs or get some nuts specially made (don't know where
though!)
Anybody else know of any options or somewhere that would make one off wheel nuts
Your help as always is much appreciated

Sounds to me like you need to look for Porsche wheel nuts.

If he had porsche wheel nuts his wheels would still fall off as they are m14 and he has m12 studs

just get some m12 wheel nuts and re machine the radius on a lathe or remove the radius and machine some radius washers

Easier to replace the studs with 14mm
Cheers1
You'd be surprised how quickly the sales people at B&Q try and assist you after ignoring you for the past 15 minutes when you try and start a
chainsaw

Surely the simplest option is to drill the hubs and discs to take a 14mm stud? Having said that, I doubt that drilling will be easy....

If you can get there, Speedshack would be my first port of call - take the wheel down and they'll try a bunch of wheelnuts they have on the
shelf to find one that will fit...

Will take a trip to Speedshack I think as they are not too far away, then if still no joy will convert to M14 studs
Many thanks as always

Shouldn't the stud be a reasonable fit in the hole - using the 12mm studs with a 14mm hole doesn't sound right to me! I have exactly the
same problem fitting Rover rims (quarter of the price) to my Clio! Popping the hubs off tomorrow to drill and tap for 14mm bolts.
