Alloy wheel nuts?
Alloy wheel nuts?
I picked up this wheel as a trademe bargain as I needed a 31" spare for my 'road' muds. Tried it on this afternoon though and obviously the hub part is a bit thick for the wheel studs. The rim is off a VX cruiser which I would have thought would have a pretty similar hub to my hilux. I know you can get tapered alloy wheel nuts but can you get them long enough to suit this application and how much $$$?

Re: Alloy wheel nuts?
is there actually a taper there for the nuts to seat against
if not, then you will need shank type wheel nuts with washers
