I have a set of 19mm wheel nuts on my 5Zigen rims and it is such a tight fit that I dread changing brake pads or anything that involves taking the wheels off as I scrape the inside of the rim and have cross threaded 2 wheel nuts already.

What I need are a set with a lug size smaller than 19mm or Allen key lugs, where does one get some?

cheers

the other option is a thinner walled socket. I had to try a couple of sokets before I found an impact socket with a thinner wall that fitted in OK

or get the socket and grind down the outside of it. mates done it and it works fine

You can get open ended (allen key) alloy wheel nuts from BSA Wheels Australia in a range of colours. they will close to 19mm outer diameter. Its the smallest open ended I could find in black.

cheers Ford, they look exactly the same as my WORK lugs except for the internal/allen key feature.

Tis difficult finding a perfect fit and I don't particularly wanna cheap ally lugs now, might keep searching around for some.

Will post back if I find a good set though :thumbsup:

      Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
