Longer Locking Nuts for Wheels & Spacers

[E30Adam]

Hi all,

I'm looking at fitting some new wheels which require 15mm spacers so will need some longer locking nuts. The standard nuts are 25mm so with the 15mm spacer, I'll need 40mm long threads on the nuts.

Does anyone know where I can get locking nuts that have a longer 40mm thread on them?

TIA

These guys do longer ones Adam, used them on my car and they seem reasonable quality.

I am also using 15mm spacers.

I phoned round most of the local wheel shops today and every one said id struggle to get them.
as a last resort I went to halfrauds where i found some mcguards the exact thread pattern,
but a little longer than required. I checked the thread on the car in the car park to make sure,
before taking them home and trimming 10mm or so from each one. result

I work in a retail store and agree with Richy's comment. The staff have to care and know the stock for it to be a decent shop imo, places like halfrauds pay peanuts and get monkeys!

They're non existent around these parts. Seems that even when I go into the dealership, I'm the one telling the parts guy how to do his job, he can't even use the computer system properly and ALWAYS misses something from the order.

Anyway, I've ordered some bolts from Greystonengineering Dave, thanks for the link.

No probs Adam, they are quite an old school company, I deal with them all the time.
