Just swapped the wheels on my S3 for a later set of the Imola alloys and decided the replace the wheel nuts with a chromed set.

Ordered a set off the guy who sells via Pistonheads but have received a mixed set of M12s the majority of which are 1.25 but a couple are 1.5

Before I try fitting them, aren't the studs/hubs as they were on the Sierra and M12 1.5mm?

Would hate the strip the threads trying the wrong size.

Any ideas?

I've just got the box for the locking wheel nuts out and it says on the lable - '12 x 1.5 60 nut' ; suspect that means 60 degree taper for the seat and 12 x 1.5 is the thread.

The nuts should be 19mm M12 x 1.5
"19mm" is the size of the wheel brace socket
"M12" is Metric 12mm diameter
"1.5" is the thread pitch

This is a common Ford size, as fitted to the Sierra
