Hi guys..

I have done the 5 stud conversion on my 99 Chim 400 with the 4 pot calipers from a Cerb etc .. does anyone know what the correct lockable wheel nuts to suit the 16 spiders I have on the car?

Thanks

Chris

First match the thread size of the studs. I want to say Ford stud threads at M12x1.5.

Next check the wheel where the nuts go. They most likely have a flat chamfered edge around the hole to suit the shoulder of these nuts - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-X-ALLOY-WHEEL-NUTS-F...

I doubt they do, but they may have a radial edge to suit the shoulder on these nuts - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-ALLOY-WHEEL-LOCKI...

Then just pick a nut to suit. McGuard are good.

Just found that the item on the second link has a picture showing the difference between radius and tapered shoulders so look at that.

Nice job! Exactly the same as the conversion that I had.
