dumb lug thread question

thenewrick · 12-28-2012, 04:31 PM

I was getting some new lug nuts for some new wheels and wasn't sure which size to buy. 12mm 1.5 seem to be the standard size but I wanted to make sure and a Google search failed me.

I thought bimmers used wheel bolts. 17mm if I'm not mistaken.

Ah interesting

The bolts are M12x1.5, and the bolt head is 17mm.

Yup on both counts.

You could always buy a stud conversion kit and then buy regular(fancy) lug nuts though.
