Lug Nut Sizes - AphoticSketch - 10:th-Dec-2018
Hi all.
So my car currently has lug nuts that are 19mm hex size and I've ordered some locking wheel nuts that are 17mm hex. The thread and bolt sizes are a match but the hex is different. Other than being an annoyance for my tyre fitters will this cause any other problem, or do I need to buy 19mm ones instead?

Pretty sure it's only the hex size that's different. I had 19mm locking bolts, but the other bolts were 17mm on my old Vectra-C. I just made sure I carried around a star wheel brace in the boot.
