What's a group A wheel nut ??


I just used normal alloy wheel nuts, as I suspect 99% of people do.

A longer bolt is a longer bolt, if indeed you actually need longer bolts.

Your car should have studs already, and yes you can get longer ones of those too, if indeed you actually need them. And stronger ones...again, if you need them.

So assuming your studs are already long enough, then you probably just need alloy wheel nuts, which any decent motor factors should be able to supply, or anywhere that sells alloy wheels.

Normal wheels studs are M12 thread, GrpA are M14 so you need them to have a built in sleeve to locate wheel correctly as the GrpA fitment wheels have bigger wheel bolt holes
