How big are my nuts?!

[ben rawlings]

I have just aquired some rover 600 alloys for my ledbury van and have found that the thread size on the 600 nuts is wrong. Havnt checked whether maestro car alloy nuts will fit??
Could anyone help me in finding a set of suitable nuts???

thanks in advance

Do the Ledburys have same pcd as Rover 600/800? Just the vans though? You could do with some samples as I think the normal Maestro/Montego uses M12 1.5 which I also think is the same as Rover 600/800. Looks like the Ledbury van uses a different thread! Is it still 12mm? or the bigger 14mm?

M14, 60 degree taper I believe for the van.

Is that 60 degree taper correct for the 600/800 alloys dan or are all rover/mg alloys the same taper?

cheers then

Most rover alloys are 60deg taper (although some aren't), the 800 ones are and most 600 ones are also 60 deg taper. The van nuts are M14, the maestro car and rover 600/800 nuts are M12.

Yes, as long as the thread is 1.5mm on the Ledbury. You can check this by measuring the distance between the threads (centre to centre) or get hold of a bolt with 1.5mm thread and put them side by side. Some threads can be 1.25mm. Also, are you certain that the Ledbury 14mm studs fit through the 600 wheels pcd holes?

Not sure what size your nuts are but I have a good idea if anyone finds their nuts are too large!

You can measure/check the thread size but they look right to me.
