Advan A3A need quick help

[AEsuperG]

its a mag lug nut. much like the ones you need to mount celica/supra wheels to your ae86


many toyotas came with these lug nuts standard. i have used some from supras, chasers, celicas, carina, corona...etc

ones i like best are MA70 lug nuts as the top is open so you can use long studs on it.

Thanks AEsuperG good idea just the ones i was having in mind but i see there could be also the problem because now i sorted space with those between the wheel studs and the wheel but the top of the holes are not flat on the rims so i am not so sure if they will tighten enough if i just put the washer on. I am looking on net if i could find some that have the " \ / " design.

[AEsuperG]

its supposed to be flat. may have been years of people using the wrong lug nuts and over tightening. to get that "\/" design, you may need to machine some metal. or just use the washers and they will probably bend to that shape anyway.

This is looking interesting but not too long.

On tis page is example what types of nuts to use so now i am really confused because the nuts are totally different. No idea what they mean...

I got the lug nuts for my advans that fit i think pretty good i tried several different nuts but those steelies was the best so what i need to solve now is this question:

- the studs on hubs should have 22mm and they are having it also when i mounted the advans with the new lug nuts the studs go only to 50% of the lug nuts (you can see it on the hand made picture) A mechanic told me the studs must go to 75% of the lug nut so i am confused now should i replace the studs or not ?

- second question is must i use some sort of a spacer between the wheel hub and advan wheel because there is a big clearance. AE86 orignal hub is having about 60mm or 61mm diameter but advan wheel is having about 72.5mm.

I still think you would be better off with the Toyota wheelnuts for the CS rims: they cover the outside and 50% of the inside of the hole, while the ones you have only cover a small part of the inside of the hole. However if you specifically ask Toyota for the CS nut they will ask 8,20 euro per nut!

I managed to find a set through Marktplaats with a later type of these nuts (part number 90942-01033) for only 50 euros.
dAYTONA said he could get them for cheap as well:

BTW: I did use the OEM nuts to mount the rims under the car and get MOT (only 500 meters from my house). I would not recommend that: it was a lot of work to get the rims centered on all four studs and I was afraid I would damage the rims. After I removed those nuts I could already see minor damage on the holes after those 500 meters: so don't do it!

hey i also need new lugnuts for my ae86 OEM 6x14 alloys (the multispoke Intra's), but also unsure which ones to get and where to get them. I just screwed them on provisonally atm with the conus type nuts for steelies. But theese alloys need some insert type nuts, as the holes are much wider than the studs.

banpei i was visiting our local toyota dealer and ordered 2 pieces of the lug nuts for the ALU oem toyota wheels and they don't even go into the holes! i will provide pictures but they not fit. Apolan maybe the one's i just mentioned fit on your wheels i show on the picture after i get the photos tomorrow at the garage.

[Apolan]

thanks man!

Okay, I didn't know those holes were actually smaller! :o

I did some searching on and found that there are also Tuner lug nuts which do their mounting on the inside:

Perhaps that is also the case with these advans?

@Apolan: those CS lugs are the same as for the Intras
