adjusting wheelnuts
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi,

I was thinking would it fit on a mini?

I don't know what the tread is of the mini? If we could use them we can use a lot more type of wheels.

Anyone familiar with them:)

there is nothing wrong with a A-series that a turbo can't fix.

What are 'wobble nuts' anyway?

they are a wheel nut wit a floating washer so you can fit wheels that dots quite have the right bolt pitch, for example....

fitting 100.6mm pcd mini wheels to a 100mm pcd fiat or vw.

given on minis the only method of centering the wheel is by the nuts, wobble nuts are a big no-no in my eyes! you can get away with it on a modern car that relies on a ridge on the hub to centre the wheel. but not on a mini, those wee studs have there work cut out as it is!

Damm, they don't fit

I was hoping that it was a option.

as evo said, on another forum someone had there wheels balanced repeatedly before realising the imbalance was the wheels werent centralised on the hub itself..

When a wheel passes you! you know its going to hurt!!!
Dont use wobble nuts.
I have had a set of revolutions that were so bad you had to choose what hub you put each on as the pcd was out that much.
Buy good wheels!!!

a nono to buy

Nothing wrong with wobble nuts when you use them properly. As said tho, mini=no center location (most of the time)=cant use them.
