CV8 and VXR Wheel Nuts Advice

[Tempy]

Hey Guys,

Sam pointed something out when I was at Mark's pub today. If I'm planning on putting VXR wheels on my CV8, will I have issues with the wheel nuts fitting? In my mind I don't see why they wouldn't, but always worth checking.

Just want to check if I need to source some new nuts as I'm assuming Mark you want to keep yours to fit Sam's wheels.

Sorry if it's a silly question

If everyone is ok, when we do the wheel swap, i'll keep hold of my own nuts

Hello,

Yes, VXR and CV8 nuts are perfectly interchangable - I have the HSV Maloo 2 19" on mine and used the nice and new nuts and chrome covers which came with the wheels.

Should have no problems.

Cheers

what about nuts on a vxr with vxr8 wheels ?? same nuts ?

M12 x 1.5

Just looked at the advert for VXR8 nuts in classifieds and if that is correct they are M14 x 1.5 so wont fit the CV8

what about vxr6.0 ?

That is indeed right. VXR8 runs 14mm studs. You want the nuts to match your studs, and the taper on the wheel. As both run a 60 deg taper on the nuts, they will still locate centrally on the hub. More important is the size of the central hub flange - and that must be fine, as Jez has VXR8 wheels on his, doesn't he?

monaros are M12x1.5, all of the monaros are the same, VXR8's are M14x1.5. VXR8 nuts wont fit a monaro.

[TerryS]

VT, VX & Monaro run M12x1.5
