rota grid drifts help!!
 
hi all just got myself a second h and set but my standard set of nuts dont fit! they go too deep cutting into the alloy hole so are too small!! does anyone know what nuts i need or even have some forsale that i can buy? cheers neil

You'll need a set of tuner nuts by the sound of it - they have a tool that turns the nuts from the inside. My inovit torques needed these and its quite common now, especially on multi-fitment alloys.

Most aftermarket wheels need bigger nuts as the subaru OE ones are quite small.
All Prodrive wheels have a special insert to allow the re-use of the Subaru wheel nuts.

my oe rims have the insert but doesnt fit the rota 100% flush and left with about 4/5mm thread, hopfully sort somthing!

Hi there

Depends on size wheels and ET,but maybe you will need at rear too wheel spacers(5mm),because they will not clear Brembo callipers

On Drag DR31 we can use any nuts(OE Subaru we are used too),but on Rota we are must used as above longer nuts

Speak with Rich@Mags RTS(he is dealer for Rota,Inovit etc.)

cheers jura, luckly the wheels dont rub having oe 2 pots but tyre is very close to the shock being 255 ideally need 225 to clear archers also but not lowered so should be ok for now, my mate has come up with some d1 spec long nuts so hopfully these will do the job! will update once fitted! thanks all

Look forward to seeing the photos once fitted!
