I have a 2006 JCW with an M14 stud conversion kit - the studs are M14, not M12.

I also have a set of cheap Akita racing AK8's that I had with my previous 2002 MCS where I used bolts to fasten them to the car. http://www.1010tires.com/Wheels/Akit...d/Hyper+Silver

The wheels are dual purpose 4x100 / 4x114.3, meaning there are eight holes rather than four. Because of this, there wasn't much bolt diameter clearance when I used to install the wheels on my 2002 MCS. I had to use a thinner-walled socket.

I'd like to be able to use the wheels on the JCW, but the lug nuts that I have are too "fat" - the outter rim of the nuts get jammed before the nuts can be seated all the way in and tightened.

I spent part of last night trying to find "skinnier" M14x1.5 lug nuts on the web, but no love. I'm too much of a stud / lug nut noob I guess.

Anyway, please let me know if there is a solution to my problem.

 

The smaller nuts/bolts are refered to as "tuner bolts or style" (as in tune er)
check gorilla.. have a set of both nuts and bolts (from when i ran studs) for one set of rims...the smaller ones, but think they have the ticker ones too!!
