I've got some new wheels on the way, going to pick up friday infact.
How do i know if i need new wheel nuts? Whether i need them longer/shorter etc?
Totally clueless?

did u check if theyd fit ur car? same stud pattern and center bore size?
if so they should be ok with normal nuts but u could take one nut of ur car and put it through the hole on the wheel and see how far it pockes through the other side that would go aginst the hub that way u can see.
also if u have spacers or not....

wouldnt of thought so then but when u do the bolts up on the wheel when u put them on the car, if they do up to easily then theyre probably to short but if theyre the same as how u r now then they should be fine..... if that makes sense?

What wheels are they? Generally if they are 4X100 PCD centre bore of 57.1 the bolts will be fine.
