Hi Guys,

Im having trouble sourcing some wheel nuts for my ssr mk 2's. Apparently thet require a M12 x 1.5 pitch shank nut with a shank OD of 17mm.

The pic below explains.


Who on this forum runs SSR mk 2's or similar and where did they source their wheel nuts from. I have been told that i need to get them custom made as they are extremenly hard to find and only sold in japan.

Cheers for your help.

Anyone with a lathe could turn those down in a jiffy.
Although are you sure you don't just need tapered lug nuts?
17mm OD with a 12mm thread would only give you a 2.5mm wall?

There seem to be quite a few in the Nice catalogue that have a 17.1mm diameter shank, this is the common brand that's sold in NZ. Page 27 has one type of nut that is 17.0mm, they don't show them as having washers though.

Also I'm pretty sure Nissan/Datsun stud threads are M12x1.25 and Toyota is M12x1.5??

Yes you are correct my mistake, thanks for the feed back guys !

you can fit tapered inserts to take tapered nuts, makes it way easier.

Been a while since i've updated!!

I Have quite a few photos of some of the prep work that has gone into this old girl, its been 6 months or so off the road now so many hours been spent on this i swear every panel was fucked had about 3-4 crashes at some stage, but shes all straight as and have used filler to a absolute minimum and all the rust has been cut out and treated, is booked in the paint shop for the 1/10/13 cannot wait for the finished car and be able to cruise her around in the summer like a wagon is built for!












stay tuned for the finished product (:
