As u know there are two types of wheel nuts, ones that screw onto the hub and ones that screw into the hub.

My normal wheel nuts on my S2 screw into the hub, yet when i ordered some from ford they were the different type, then i went to halfords and again they were not the correct type.

so, my question is what were standard on the S2, have i got different hubs?

 

Standard should be bolts and not nuts.

You say yours screw into the hub so i persume you have bolts.

 

Ford have supplied you wrong. No surprise their they told my missus that Ford had never made a turbo'd escort and certainly never an RS Turbo when she went to get me a new petrol cap

All MK3, Mk4 Escorts use bolts (i.e they screw into the hub) not nuts
