HELP!! Ford Focus Wheel Nuts
Hi, I have a Ford Focus mk2 which I have bought new 18” ST aftermarket alloys for. I had steel wheels beforehand but I believe the wheel nuts I already have are suitable for alloys. Anyways, my question is how many turns of this type of wheel nut is safe in order to secure my wheels correctly you the studs? I am currently getting full 5 turns of the nut
The top wheel nut is tightened in as far as it was with my old steel wheels
The bottom nut is tightened in as far as it is with the new alloys.
The red line indicates how far the thread on the studs goes into the nut
This is how far stud comes past alloy. About 16mm which is 0.65 inch
This is what it looks like when nut is fully tightened (note the caps are missing).
