long wheel nuts

[stoker302]

Having decided to keep my 18" spiders on my griff at present, I now need extra long wheel nuts on the front, anyone know where to buy these. have been on ebay to get the normal size ones, just did not realise the front would be different.

Got mine from here http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Mtec-Online/Wheel-studs-/...

(assuming you're talking about studs, not nuts)

No, I am talking about the wheel nuts. The front ones are the normal size like on ordinary cars, fully threaded no stopped end. The ones I bought from ebay M12x1.5 o/a length 34mm work on the back fine but not on the front, the new nuts are too short in length or maybe the studs are too long. Does anyone know the correct length of a standard front wheel stud on a griff.

You can also get open ended wheel nuts so that if the stud is longer it doesnt matter. We use them in the racer, easier and lighter ;-)
