Scott Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Bolt? As in a stud or a wheel nut? Your title mentions wheel nut but the thread mentions bolts? The Supra doesn't have "bolts", it has wheel studs and nuts. If one of the studs has sheared the other 4 will have been bearing the brunt on the tension front. Of course they are designed to cope with that (one stud is enough for test conditions), but they are not designed to run like that for prolonged use or after being used outwith their intended application. My recommendation would be to replace all 5 studs and all 5 wheel nuts. That'll be £1000 please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be £1000 please Sorry, i should have been more specific, it is just one of the wheel nuts that has started to lose its shape so once its off i would like to replace with another nut! All the studs and other nuts are fine so thanks for the FREE recommendation , but do you have a spare nut for me then please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themodifiedkid Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Hi mate, i have some stock "nuts" if this is any use, as im pretty sure they are not compatible with after market alloys, I could be wrong though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mate, well i need nuts with a rounded head as i have got Volk rays aftermarket alloys and all the current nuts have a rounded head that fits into the alloy. Are your ones rounded?

themodifiedkid Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Do you mean rounded head or tapered as most after market alloys use a tapered seat wheel nut. I have stock toyota ones the best I can describe them is top hat shaped with a flat seat, it has an open head (you can see the wheel stud when nut is on) Think im making sense and not confusing things further lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are your ones rounded?i have 8 new ones on my rear staggered volks rays alloys that will fit i need to change them for shorter ones as i cannot fit the centre caps the fronts are a perfect fit (same size)with centre caps fitted:), the rears would be if i did not have centre caps:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
