Perentie Wheel Nuts

**Silenceisgolden** · 17th January 2018, 03:19 PM

Greetings all.

My Pernetie 6x6 came with after market wheels and chrome wheel nuts. I have replaced the wheels with the ANR4583 rims and standard wheel nuts. I am only getting 6 or 7 threads of engagement - leaving them looking like this. Is this normal or okay? My 130 with standard wheels and nuts doesn't have threads showing when done up fully.

The studs protrude from the hub by 23mm. I find it hard to understand why the previous owner would have fitted shorter studs - the chrome nuts were very long.

Any advice would be gratefully received!

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul,

I will have a look on my Perentie tonight - I have a 4x4 FFR, although I wouldn't havet hought that it would be any different..

Your picture doesn't look right to me...

Cheers,
GG.

Thanks GG, that would be great. That was a front wheel - the back wheels aren't so bad, they screw up nearly to the end of the nut, only maybe one thread showing.
Cheers,
Paul

AFAIK perentie wheel studs are longer. If u have the rims with the raised centre those studs would be too short to hold the rim on.

The wolf rim really requires the longer wheel studs from uk military LRs. I fitted them to my hubs when I went to tubeless wolf rims. It’s not a difficult job.

My front and rear look the same - maybe 1 thread left off the nut. Here is the rear/front...IMG_2593.jpg IMG_2594.jpg

Thanks everyone for the replies, and thanks GG for the pics. It seems then that I will have to replace the studs to suit the Wolf rims. I presume that is a press job? I guess that will force me to check out the wheel bearings when I remove the hubs.... silver lining??
Cheers,
Paul

I just tapped mine out with a hammer.

The nuts on the front wheels of the 6x6 look similar to the pics you have posted GG.

The Wolf rims are thicker than the standard military rims and on the 6x6 the front studs don't come right through the nuts. Mine is the same. I haven't worried about changing them out but you can get the 60mm studs on ebay I think about $15 each. Might get around to buying some one day, when I need to change rotors as you have to unbolt the rotor off the hub to change them.
