Corolla Gt-i Alloys

[Pan]

Righty-o...about to put my new alloys on the car when to my shock and horror discovered the original wheel studs were too large for the holes on the new wheels <_< ...anybody know where I can get some replacements?? Corolla GT-i studs seem to have a rather large and annoying washer attatched which cannot be removed (or can it?)

no you need to get some different nuts. try the place where you got the rims or any wheel shop maybe even Halfords

May I suggest that you see the post on 'bumper nuts'!

I'd also invest in some wheel locks :)

Better safe than sorry. Besides it would be stupid to find your car sitting on the ground.

soz...I tend to stick with the Family section now that my GTi aint classed as a performance motor...'Bumper Nuts' post? ...Thanks for the reply Dawsey, will see my m8 down Halfords way tomorrow...should have a box or 2 full...am I right in thinking I can use any that will fit?

as long as the flange on the nut matches the wheel and the threads the same should be no probs
