Nissan Safari spare wheel nut size?

Post by Herd »

The 3 spare wheel nuts on my Safari are smaller that the 12x1.25 nuts used for the road wheels. I've been to my tyre shop who could not identify the size. Does any one know what size they are likely to be or have any tapered ones for sale?

Try Rex...
I seem to remember some one saying that Rex knows all about Nuts....
Big nuts, Little nuts, Medium nuts Rex knows Nuts(illegibly)

I used the same nuts on my spare wheel carrier as i did on the wheels, so i guess they are the same size thread...12x1.25...

As to physical size, i'm not sure it matters...
