Wheel Nutz
 

Got the SSRs Ewen was selling on SXOC but the factory S12 nuts are no good. Am I correct saying wheel nuts are either flat or have a 60 degree taper ?

The wheels have tapered nut "seats", plus the factory nuts are much too wide and fowl the hole they should pass through.

meep ? anybody ?

I'd like to help you mate, but my knowledge of wheel nuts is sh*te! - I have 2 spacers I bought a while ago to pad the rear arches out, but still haven't got the courage up to start messing with them! :rolleyes:

Den.

Can you get what we call "tuner nuts" over there?

They have plenty of choices. I use them on my SSRs that my S12 runs on. Specifically of the second choice. I would have to figure out the thread pattern for I forgot, but I have that style on my car.

Shouldn't be too hard Japster you'll probably just need longer lugs/studs. :)

Yes but we don't really have a name for them. Seems most are 60 degree taper so that's what I was going to try.

edit; went for these :)

The wheel nuts for those wheels are 12by1.25 60degree tapers.They are used on generally any set of aftermarket alloys,the 12by1.25 bit is the thread for a silvia.

Yeah that's what I arrived at but it's nice to have someone varify :)

The brakes look real small now

S14 4-pots should sort that. Oh and the tyre sizes aren't quite right for the S12 but that'll be sorted soon.
I think the rears coudl do with moving outward slightly, maybe 5-10mm spacers ?

Looks a bit high at the back.

The rear tyres have a slight stretch, that'll be sorted soon with new rubber.
