Hi,

Can anyone tell me where I can buy a set of nuts for the spare, or another spare wheel for the Deli?

The spare I have has countersunk stud holes, whereas the four wheels on the Deli, have flanged holes.
I would like to use the same nuts for both, but cannot find a spare wheel advertised anywhere. any ideas?

Failing that I need to buy a set of wheel nuts to fit the spare (countersunk, 6 stud).

Thanx in advance for your help.

Ady

Odd wheels occasionally come up on e-bay, though some members on here may have knowledge of some going spare.

You can also try a breakers yard.

Wheels nuts are available from Milners OffRoad, though some members have mentioned they tend to rust quickly.

There is also this website:- http://www.speedshack.co.uk/Wheelnuts.htm

if you have the standard mitsi alloys your wheel nuts ahve flat washers on,
and your spare will be a steel, if this is the case then the alloy nuts will work 100% with the steel as the ends are tappered to suit the wheel.

I know as I have used the steel wheel as a spare.

Do not buy the Milners wheel nuts, they are crap. Mine rusted in a week and now look very orange!

Not necessarily so. Some Mits alloy wheels, the pepperpot design for instance use the tapered nut (I.e. no washer). I had to get the washer type to fit my Pajero 6 spoke design wheels.
And yes, I too can confirm the Milners nuts (With washers) rust badly Mad
