I have some OZ multispoke split rims and will be fitting them soon. However the locking nuts for the front are shorter than the rears. There are no locking nuts and I want to buy some. Does anyone know the spec I need to look for ie Thread and key hex size.
I have looked at the McGard web site but not sure waht I need.

Many thanks for all help.

The thread is standard Ford 12 x 1.5 mm.

PS For a Griffith that is, I have no idea of the rest.

Fred,
They are for a Griff.
Thanks for the thread sizes.
Is there anything special I should ask for when I order them as I'll likely get them via the web or phone order.
Anyone with these wheels got any recommendations.

You'll be able to get locking nuts for Ford hubs at Halfwits - saves messing around with postage etc.

When you buy your locknuts make sure you get the same lenght or slightly longer nuts.
Any Ford dealer should have them on stock.

The threads on the nuts are 1/2 inch UNF. I made my own so cannot help with where to get them from.

This is now wheel nuts too.
Fitted the rears of the OZ multispokes and I can only get the stubby (25mm long) nuts behind the centre cap. Only had 8 of these so the car looks funny with OZ's at the rear and standard 500's on the front.
Are these freely available and can you conform the thread - I have one 25mm x 1.5 and one 1/2" UNF. Someone must be wrong.
Will try some local motor factors and can't now get into McGards web site.
Thanks
