Wheel Nuts - Steel Wheels

[BigJon]

A question for those of you who have steel wheels fitted to a D3/4 or RRS.

What wheel nuts do you use?

Thanks.

I used Land Cruiser wheel nuts, but can't remember if it was from a 100 or 200 series.

Cheers,

Holden steel wheel nuts for me

Gee, tough crowd here today !!

You made me feel bad :(:D.

The standard nuts have a taper on the bottom of them. Would that be the correct taper for steel wheels?

I have a couple of Gordon's old steel wheels for spares and the nuts are 100 series Landcruiser. I had to use the spare in the Kimberley and all was good with the chrome LC 100 series nuts.

Its a metric 14mm nut with a 1.5 twist so ask for 14x1.5 metric nuts and you will be ok. I got my first lot from the yota mob but any 14x1.5 will do.

There is a technical requirement for the nut to be secured to the stud by a minimum number of turns (I think it was 9 to 10) - the 'Cruiser nuts meet this requirement, don't know about the others. Presumably most 'open' nuts would. I guess this is more a function of the rim design, but check just in case!

I got mine at mates rates from Covs, for anyone in Perth. Any parts supplier that does Toyota parts would have them.

As per Jonesy I use D2 also and they saw the both of us Sydney to Darwin via Oodnadatta in 2010 and a couple of offload trips in NSW. Just remember to pack a different quality socket as the D3 supplied wheel socket won't fit.

I am trying to track down good quality nuts that aren't worth a small fortune. I have been quoted as much as $6.50 per nut :eek:. Sure adds up when you need 20.
