Help! Narrow wheel nuts

CJ5 · Postby **CJ5** » Wed Oct 29, 2008 1:19 pm

Bought a set of starcorps but my wheel nuts are too big for em

For those that know em, ill be taking the car to bridgestone bentley for the alignment/balance, would they have narrower wheel nuts or spline nuts in stock? if not, where would?

Most tyre places should have them, I got some from the Tyrepower I got my tyres from.

cheers, got some 2nd hand ones.. theyr silver but that'll do for now (rims are black)

anyone foresee a problem with simply spray painting them black?

when you tighten the nuts or loosen them, you might take off some of the paint
