Alloy Wheel Nut size issue....

Hello All

I recently brought a set of alloys of a fellow lowcoster and i am having a small issue trying to fit them. A picture of the alloys in question is in the link below

They are dual stud / bolt hole pattern, and i assumed (wrongly) that the larger set of holes would be my ford pattern, which would then take the studs off my hubs and my mushroom type wheel nuts.

Unfortunately the hole pattern that actually fits my hubs (sierra) is the smaller set, so small in fact that i cant find any wheel nuts which would fit and allow me to use them.

Has anyone else had this issue before ?

Cheers
Tris

What you need is a set of tuner nuts, I always used them with my Indy's, they are ideal when your tight for room.
