Sailor Bob Posted August 7, 2007 Share #2 Posted August 7, 2007 Is that an alloy wheel - if so you will need alloy wheel lugs. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/25129-tuner-lugs-help/#findComment-217689 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeW Posted August 7, 2007 Share #4 Posted August 7, 2007 From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing"Some aftermarket wheels will only fit smaller lug nuts, or not allow an ordinary lug nut to be properly torqued down because a socket will not fit into the lug hole. Tuner lug nuts were created to solve the problem. Tuner lug nuts utilize a special key to allow removal and installation with standard lug wrench or socket. The design of tuner lug nuts can range from spline drive to multisided, and are sometimes lightweight for performance purposes. A variation is the "locking wheel nut", which is almost universally used for alloy wheels in the United Kingdom. One standard lug nut on each wheel is replaced with a nut which requires a special and unique key (typically a computer-designed, rounded star shape) to fit and remove the nut. This helps to discourage theft of wheels. However, universal removal tools are available which grip the head of the locking nut using a hardened left-hand thread. The success of these depends on whether there is room to use it in the lug hole, and whether the manufacturer has incorporated a free-spinning outer casing to the locking."

bartman Posted August 7, 2007 Share #5 Posted August 7, 2007 What is a tuner lug?Very small diameter lug nuts. Some after market wheels provide a pretty small diameter recess for the wheel lugs and regular type lug nuts will not fit.You can get them from plenty of places like Discount Tire (that's where I got mine), Pep Boys, Autozone, MSA, etc. Just be sure to get the proper size M12x1.25.
