Default 3 door cosworth wheels to mk4 escort

i have a set of 3 dr cosworth wheels and would like to fit them to my mk4 escort .
the wheel nuts i have are alloy nuts as i have s1 turbo wheels fitted at the moment .
my problem is the 3 door wheels look like there is parts missing from the wheel as the holes are two different sizes

You need different wheel nuts.

The standard nuts for a mk3/4 escort are not correct and if you tighten them tooo much will/might/could pull through.

I can describe what you need but have no pictures.

When I got some they cost £2 each from wheel mania.


They're bolts with a collar/sleeze at the top end that doesn't come off but makes the bolt wide enough not to pull through.
