RL7s, 18"x9", Hens teeth?

[phazed]

I've been looking for some while for a pair of 5 stud as fitted to some Cerberas and haven't had any luck.

So many people have changed their wheels that you may have thought that I would've come across a pair but sadly no. Are you guys hanging on to them?

The 17"x8" are more common but even they are thin on the ground.

If anyone knows of any lurking around please let me know

The 18s used on tuscan racers are different and don't fit Cerbs.

Really, I didn't know that.

What's different with the Tuscan ones?

Here's mine with 17" all round.

Tuscan Challenge RL7's are Ford Granada Scorpio pcd, so would fit Wedges but not Cerb/T car.

Thanks for that.

Hi Peter I have a set of 17" rl7's as well, my standard spider wheel nuts are tapered but the rl7 wheels seem to have a flat fitments, can you clarify or even better point where to find the correct nuts?

That's interesting.

My car came with 16/17" RL7s so I'll check what nuts it has!

S'funny, the wheels have sort of combination sloped/square shouldered holes.



Wheel nut.

That's what I was afraid of!

So, new nuts required, anyone got a link?

Jeep nuts you say,.....

All on eBay are tapered?

But these are tapered, as my nuts that I thought were wrong???

I think the taper on the nut sits'. In the taper of the wheels and the square shoulder on the nut fills the square recess in the wheel

You can see on this image that I've pulled from the web that they have the conical taper.

My 18" RL7s and 18" Spiders both have the taper but I did have a set of 17" RL7s which I never actually fitted that had the flat face, they looked like they had an insert pressed into the holes that made them flat.
Try this guy http://www.mistertee.co.uk for flat face nuts, looks like he has what you need on his website, he was very helpful in getting me the longer studs I needed.

I'm looking for a pair of 18", any gorgeous sale?
