Wheelnuts

Simple question, will the wheelnuts on my stocker 14's fit on a set of CSA 15's i got, I know they wont look to posh but they seem to seat ok but im not to sure if wheelnuts vary between wheels?
Thanks

wheelnuts dont vary, your wheelnuts suit the bolts which you put the wheels on (i.e. part of your car).
however...saying that on the odd occasion the wheelnuts will fit the bolt, but not fit through the hole in the wheel if you get my drift

saying that though, should be fine mate

Thanks mate, Just looking at how the mags are offset and the holes are recessed deeper inside the wheel compared to stock wheels where the nut simply sits on top. The main thing im worried about is that the taper on the end of the nut matches the mags I guess. Ill ask the tyre guys just to be sure anyways.

Actually, he's right to be cautious, while the thread is matched to the bolt, the taper can differ between wheels. The angle of the taper should be the same, but the length of the taper on the standard wheel nuts might be a tad short. when I put standard wheel nuts on my CSA 15's the taper of the nut sat well inside the taper on the wheel, I ended up spending 30bucks on getting a set that fit properly and there were no problems.
