Wheel Nuts connundrum 12x1.5mm

[losh1971]

Do 90s Jeeps run the same size nuts? They came standard with similar centre hub caps.

I'd call them centre caps? hahaha

Got your wheel nuts sorted yet?

They've got the taper for steel wheels, and the shank for the caps.

I think they're 7/16 or 1/2.....But don't quote me...

If the wheel nuts you want are just for holding caps on like you posted up, any commodore steel wheel nut will do...It's the taper that holds it in place, not the length of the wheel nut

He wanted the wheel nuts to look pretty ( chrome) to match the centre caps.

That means he can get wheel nuts from anything, except Nissan, Falcon/Mustang and real early Holden....

Problem solved...

I didn't want them to be pretty at all. I'd be happy with rusty looking bastards like the one I posted, but I can't find any. The caps I added the piccy of, were to explain what skull caps are, not the ones that are on the car

The nuts hold the wheel on, the shank is a snug fit in the cap, and the corners of the hex on the wheel nut, hold the cap in place. If you use a standard type wheel nut without the shank, you'll crush the cap before the wheel nut gets tight
