Okay, so such a simple thing is proving to be VERY difficult. I need a set of wheel nuts to suit bolt-on, hubcentric spacers. Nowhere down south here has been able to help me, and i've gotten a lot of blank looks.

Anyone know for sure where i can get some M12 x 1.25 nuts, to suit wheel spacers. They have to have a small head inorder to tighten them, and must be short.

Cheers,
Kyle.

I would hit ebay or even ebay international. i get a full set for ford (20 nuts) for about 25 delivered from the states and only took about 6 days to arrive.

I've had a look on ebay, but the important part is the diameter of the head, which will dictate if i can get a socket on it, and none of the listings mention head size.

Needs to be no bigger than a 19mm head.

Gettings some standard nuts machined down will be the easiest way dude. Even the nuts i had to suite bolt on spacers i needed to get machined down to fit in the spacer properly!

I haven't got time to sort somewhere, nor a car to take the nuts to get machined. Where/who/how much $$ and wait times?

I need to purchase nuts, i need them by next monday at the latest.

Kyle got mine done for me :-) As for buying them, perhaps send an email to the company on ebay that bake the buddy club wheel spacers. Im using there spacers and they came with the small nuts (however as i mentioned i still needed to machine them down length wise for them to fit into the spacer and not foul on the rim).

Normal wheel nuts are 21mm in diameter, this is too big. Needs to be 19mm...
Already thought of that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
