marina van wheel nut thread size

Post by **callyspoy** » Wed Apr 30, 2008 8:25 pm

hi folks, currently sat on my car is a marina van axle with bigger wheel studs, currently holding the wheels on to said axle are some crappy wheel nuts. i dont know the thread size on them, so cant buy any nice nuts. they are bigger than minor ones...i was tempted to think possibly same as MGB but dont want to spend unless i know for sure...any chance of anyone knowing what the thread is??

Marina vans use a 4.5" PCD, so I doubt you have a van axle if the MGF wheels fit ;)

They are likely to be montego/maestro studs and are probably an M10 fine. If you have a set of vernier calipers measure the diameter and the amount of threads per inch and im sure someone will help!
