I am running wheel studs instead of bolts, are there any locking nuts you can get that will match the right angle for a BMW wheel?
I guess my other option is to remove a stud and use the locking bolt...but any suggestions appreciated!
Cheers,
Gus

Yes you just need M12x1.5 locking nuts with a 60 degree taper.

The thread in most locking wheel nuts is 'blind', so ensure that the nut will screw on far enough, with any wheel that you may use, without starting to 'bottom out'.

Yeah - haven't been able to find anything that would work just yet.
Looks like locking bolts are going back on!

Do your wheel studs protrude by a particularly large amount then?

Yep - they are the Turner MS bulletnosed ones. I can't get the centrecap on either. Slightly annoying...
