Doesnt matter what wheels you put on a car, the nuts required go by what the car is, as the studs are a part of the car, not the rims. VE's take 14mm nuts, Anything else pre-VE takes 12mm nuts. So if they are goin on your VX, then you need 12mm's

Yes as above you will need 12mm x 1.5 thread nuts for vx

The wheel nuts you have on the car now will be fine.

OK, is the VT also 12mm x 1.5 thread??

Not true.. Sure the thread will always be the same, but some rims require diferant tapers

VT is 12x1.5 how ever if your really worried I am pretty sure you can get wheel nuts to suit VE rims on pre vehicles that have a different taper.

Yeah i got ve ss 18's on the vn and it wasnt hard to find the right nuts, lol supercheap of all places had them

just to settle it for everyone the nuts you will need are the ones that come standard on all vt-vz alloys from the factory. the ones that have the plastic caps. the caps can come in black silver or chrome.

these nut have the massive flare taper or v taper u will need to accept the 14mm stud hole in the ve wheels.

ive had a lot of experience fitting these wheels to earlier commos and highly recommend this being the safest.

cheers and GL,
