FAQs

What are Wheel Nuts and Why are They Important?

Simply put, wheel nuts secure your wheels to the hub, ensuring they remain firmly attached under braking, cornering and off-road conditions. The right nuts ensure proper safety and will prevent wheel or stud damage.

What’s the Difference Between Wheel Nuts and Lug Nuts?

If you’ve heard these terms and wondered how they differ, they’re simply different terms for the same thing. They refer to the threaded fasteners that hold your wheels onto the hubs.

How Do I Know Which Wheel Nuts Fit My Car?

To get the right sized wheel nuts for your vehicle, match the nut’s thread size, pitch and seat type to your vehicle and wheel style. The range at Autobox makes it a breeze to find compatible options for your setup.

Can I Reuse Wheel Nuts After Removing My Wheels?

Yes, as long as they’re in good condition. If they show any signs of wear (cracked, corroded, or stripped), you will need to replace them.

How Tight Should Wheel Nuts Be Torqued?

You should always follow your manufacturer’s torque specs. For many cars, the torque specs will generally range between 80 to 120 Nm. It’s best to recheck the tightness after 50 km of driving to ensure it’s being maintained properly.

Are There Wheel Nuts Made for Alloy Wheels?

Yes. Some alloys require specific seat styles (tapered or ball) for correct alignment and to avoid rim damage. Always confirm via the manufacturer which wheel nuts are best for your wheels.

Can I Replace Wheel Nuts Myself?

Yes, if you’ve got a torque wrench and basic tools, you can. Otherwise, if you lack the necessary tools or are concerned about doing it wrong, a mechanic can ensure proper fitment and torque.
