Help: Need to find 20 M12x1.5 lug nuts with 17mm hex

Keith Vail · **Posted:** Thu Apr 19, 2007 9:26 pm

Ok so I finally got everything together on the Crossfire and after installing the stud conversion to get rid of those pesky lug bolts I went to bolt my street wheels up. My street wheels are a set of Kosei K1-TS in 17x8. I ordered my kit up from The Tire Rack and I told them that I needed a 17mm hex. They sent me lugs with a 19mm hex. I have an event on Sunday, where can I find a set of lug nuts before then? TIA.

Edit: Another thought that would work would be a set of spline drive lugs.

I lost a lug nut the other day and the parts store I went to had 12x1.5 but not in 17mm. Maybe try Wilder's.

Discount Tire keeps a good stock of nuts. I got spline nuts from them just a few weeks ago.

Thanks Mike. I was going to check with them tomorrow morning.

So you have a set of 20 - 12x1.5in 19mm acorn style that are looking for a good home?

Why do you want them? $12 takes them if you want them.

Or they open ended? I don't need closed ended or blingy chrome stuff. Just decent quality lug nuts to hold my track wheels on. I'm about due to replace them all again.

Yep they are open ended. I found a set of spline drives that I will be going to get at Discount Tire later on today. So this set of lug nuts will have been on my car less than 24 hours.

Get an extra key while you're there. I had one break a couple of years ago at Laurinburg, and I had the good fortune of finding another guy that had one. I won't make that mistake again.

I'll PM you Keith so we can work out meeting up. I'll take them if they fit properly for $12.
