Surely, surely not.

Are my M400 wheel nuts as fitted on the graphite standard wheels, non standard sized!?

In the absence of a Noble wheel brace I have attempted to use my girlfriends RS3 unit with no joy (too small) and then my daughters Classic Rover Mini Cooper unit - again too small!

Is it just me or.......?

If you have a socket set it should be 19mm socket fits the standard nuts, wheel braces from my other cars have never been that size though.

Lose 100 man points. Go buy socket set and breaker bar immediately. Use supplied 17mm or 19mm sockets.

biggrin Hey it was dark, it was raining, I was cold.......I just wanted to check my wheels weren't away to fall off!

I'll try and 19mm socket (yes I do actually own one!) tonight. The wheels meantime, are still firmly attached to the car!
