[Mr2z]

thanks nic, emailed the guy waiting for him to reply, lets see what happens do really like the alloys tho. kev what tires did you have on your wen you run the sa3 wheels

[2mad]

Always ran 245/35/17 rear and 215/40/17 front like in this pic http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/garage.php ... e_id=19039 need coilovers for the rear to look right though. if your not running coilovers 235 or 245/40/17 is best

[GHOST]

Can't fault my Rota's. You can get them staggered too. Running an 8 and 9j on mine at et35. Good selection at driftworks.

[Mr2z]

Plus my brother has been kind enough to paint them for me any colour I want( he does it for a living) for free

Thanks kev, nic and danjama and every one else for your input

Now I need to think what colour I want.

Congratulations post up some pics when fitted.

[Mr2z]

Guys has any one had d1 spec wheel nuts on there car?
Just want know if they are safe etc, were can I get some from? Don't want cowboy quality.

Or shall I stick to original nuts

Any advice

[Nic]

The stock wheel nuts have a flat head which won't fit, you'll need wheel nuts with a tapered fit. I'm using Richbrook forged aluminium wheel nuts.

CHROME SPINNERS... LOL

only joking have a look at rota torque 17" 8.5jj in black or bronze i think they r the best looking wheel for the mr2

and rota give you a set of nut with the wheels

thanks nic

Might be a bit late &/or you might not be as dumb as me so you may have already noticed but those dimensions are for the thread only.
Not all wheels have the same size mounting holes in either depth or width & can vary even on the same set.

Eg: I just bought a set of Sparco wheels and not only are the mounting holes too narrow for standard tapered nuts, [they require slim tuner nuts] the depth of the holes is different between the fronts & rears so the nuts I bought having only measured & test fitted the fronts, [duh] are too tall for the rears & foul the blanking plate.
I've ended up with 37mm depth x 20mm width on the fronts & 24mm depth x 19mm width for the rears.

The 24mm only arrived today & I may yet find the rears will also need a spacer to shorten the thread when I check them later as they are internally driven due to the holes being too narrow to get a socket in.

thats sounds so complex for my simple mind lol

In terms of value for money and quality the Richbrook forged aluminium wheel nuts are hard to beat.

http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performan ... wheel-nuts

They are similar to the Advan wheel nuts but a whole lot cheaper.

Maybe a pic would help...



20mm x 37mm on the right [too tall] 19mm x 24mm on the left.

Your wheels don't appear to have blanking plates so you only need to worry about the width of the mounting holes & whether there's room for a regular or slim socket wrench or if you'll need an internal driver.
