FlrSupra Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 So.. long story short. This "problem" surprised me today: I`m fitting OEM MK3 16" wheels (model: http://image.nettix.fi/extra/partimg/1029301_1029400/1029309_b_df7d2997c35b8577.jpg) to my MK4 for the winter. Had them painted white and ready to go, but now I can`t fit them because I certainly need exact type of wheel nuts to fit these wheels. Anyone have spares or know where to get correct type of wheel nuts? I tried local Toyota dealer here in Finland and the price was about 9£/each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I believe the thread size is the same for a mkiii and a mkiv. I certainly got my set of mkiii nuts to fit my stock mkiv wheels, but they were too long to put the hub cap on. So they do fit. I have a full spare set of mkiii nuts but I would have thought shipping to Finland would be too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the thread size is same, but those mk3 wheels need exact type/model wheel nut to fit the wheels :/ Atleast they differ from wheel nut model which you`ll get on every aftermarket wheels. .. or am I totally wrong (???)

Branners Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Not sure on that, I just know the mkiii nuts fitted my mkiv stock alloys but stuck out a LOT. The weight on 20 stock mkiii nuts is going to be high so shipping will cost a packet I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
