Those of you with 15mm spacers what locking wheel nuts are you using and where did you get them?

I really want some mcgard ones but can't get any the right length in the usual places I.e halfords.

I didn't use any. In fact, when I fitted my rear 15mm spacers I removed ALL the locking wheel nuts off the car and replaced with standard ones. They are more hassle than they are worth.

Until someone pinches one or more of your wheels?

I also ditched the locknuts when fitting spacers. Otherwise, use four longer bolts & one original locking bolt per wheel-the original bolts should still just catch enough thread to work.

Combined with the four extended bolts they should be OK.

Well, that of course is a risk but unless I am being incredibly naive (which is entirely possible) the theft of alloys is nowhere near as frequent as it used to be 10+ years ago.

Now, sods law will probably mean that now that i've said that my wheels will get nicked!

I have +15mm McGard locking bolts. Plenty of places should stock them. I'll check the part number on the packaging of mine for you.

I'll know where to come if I curb one of mine and need a replacement ;)
