Reply With QuoteNo, I don't think so. The spare nuts are longer and will possibly bottom out before securing the wheel. The road wheel nuts, being shorter, will pull the studs out of the carrier.

SubscriberIs there any functional difference between these wheel nuts?
Can the spare wheel ones be used on road wheels?

If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

SubscriberIan is correct. This is one of the most infuriating "quirks" of the D2.
I sometimes wonder if LR aren't one of the greatest practical jokers of all time.

I don't see why you cant use a spare wheel nut (domed) as a road wheel nut. You just wont be able to use a road wheel nut as a spare wheel nut.Originally Posted by Bohica

I got a spare one for you but probably cost more to send than one from local wreckers

SupporterYes, the rear door spare wheel carrier studs are a different length to the wheel hub studs. The wheel carrier had to accomodate steel wheels or alloy wheels depending on model year range level . My 1999 D2 was delivered with 4 alloys and a steel spare.

SubscriberYou can use a normal wheel nut on the spare if you add another washer. I had an old RRC wheel nut which I removed the washer from and used it on a normal wheel nut. or maybe the washer from a security wheel nut which you probably have stored somewhere.
